Proceed PDP Digital Audio Processor (Madrigal Audio Laboratories)The Proceed PDP is a high-end Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) / Digital Audio Processor from the early 1990s, produced by Madrigal Audio Laboratories (the company behind Mark Levinson electronics). Proceed was Madrigal’s more affordable “sister” brand to Mark Levinson. The PDP pairs naturally with the Proceed PCD (CD player) or PDT (transport) and was designed as a premium outboard DAC for CD players, DAT machines, and other digital sources of the era.
