One owner, this unit has served me well for many years but I fear my 1080p TV might be on the way out meaning it's time to start looking for a new pre.Anthem Statement D2V – Serious Sound Quality, Exceptional ValueIf you’re chasing pure audio performance, this Anthem Statement D2V still delivers ...
The Anthem Statement D2v is a serious, high‑end pre‑amp/DAC that still holds its own in a modern stack, so expectations around condition and accessories matter. At AUD 1,200 this asking price sits above the recent local median of AUD 1,087, edging into ambitious territory rather than bargain, especially if the unit is older or lacks the original box and remote. The local comparables suggest a realistic used range roughly between AUD 1,035 and AUD 1,139, so paying a modest premium is only justified if you’re getting a clean service history and full kit.
Before wiring it in, verify the firmware is up to date and confirm all analogue and digital inputs work as expected, since older units can occasionally misbehave with HDMI or USB. Also check that the power supply and any external DAC modules are present and functioning, and scrutinise the display and relays for any odd flickering or switching artifacts that can hint at age‑related wear.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Anthem traces its roots to the 1990s in Canada, emerging from the acclaimed Sonic Frontiers, a brand celebrated for its no-compromise high-fidelity components crafted by dedicated engineers and audiophiles. In 1998, Paradigm acquired Sonic Frontiers, including Anthem, marking a pivotal shift toward innovative home theater electronics while preserving the pursuit of pure, unadulterated sound. This heritage of passion fused with scientific precision defines Anthem's enduring Canadian legacy.
The brand excels in premium amplification and processing, renowned for AV receivers like the MRX series, high-end processors such as the AVM line, and MCA power amplifiers. These products integrate proprietary technologies, including Anthem Room Correction (ARC), the pioneering room optimization system born from advanced research. While not venturing into speakers, turntables, DACs, headphones, or cables, Anthem's focus on electronics delivers reference-level performance tailored for discerning home theater and hi-fi setups.
Anthem holds a commanding position in the high-end market, topping charts as the leading brand for home theater preamps/processors with 30% share and ranking fourth in AV receivers at 31%. Repurchased in 2019 by Paradigm co-founder Scott Bagby and his brother John, restoring original stewardship, Anthem embodies premium Canadian engineering—reliable, innovative, and free of excess—for knowledgeable buyers seeking world-class audio without compromise.
