This feeds my Theta Casablanca. The sound is awesome. I wish some of the new blue ray players had a digital balanced out .

I had the Six shoolter on loan to me. Yes the sound was somewhat different in the analog domain using Theta's Six shooter than going straight into digital, but the extra cost of the Valhalla single ended cable times 5 did not wow me over. I also found that the DTS prossing in the Pioneer was not as full sounding as that of the Casablanca III. I do not listen to 5.1 audio for music strictly 2 channel. When I want to listen to music I use the ASR Emitter II exclusive which is IMHO much better than the Six shooter. Take care.
