If you are looking for "ultimate "in redbook as well as SACD plyaback then there is only one company that can deliver--dCS--the Verdi SACD transport, Purcell upsampler with DSD, Elgar plus. Absolutely the best! IMO anyway. I wish I could afford them though, as it will set you back 30 grand.
Anyone heard the new Theta Gen VIII ?
I'm looking for the "ultimate" Redbook CD playback.
I am intent on NOT using a pre-amp, so please limit comparisions to other DACs with "variable out".
Has anyone heard the Gen VIII? How does it compare to other DACs in this price range?
I once owned a Theta Miles CDP and thought it was one of the best sounding all-in-ones out there (currently own the A.A. Capitole 24/192)
Thanks to any & all!
