New or Old DAC


I currently have an older Theta front end. Data ll transport & Chroma HDCD. I like it, even though it is old and discontinued. I would like to update my DAC first , I am looking for a Theta Pro Gen va. I know the sound of the older Theta stuff and like it. But, are there any newer DAC's out there in that $1K (used) price range that can really give an equal or better performance than the Pro Gen Va? Do the newer anti jitter (re-clocking) DACS fall into that price range?

thanks, mike

Like John says…

I guess I neglected to include the Insert-Humor-Here tag; albeit inflammatory humor.

Not much need to read beyond the first line or two from Po's posts. I haven't been able to either. He is however part of our community and he certainly does take this hobby seriously...
It sounds like someone who doesn't know what he is talking about, trying to pretend like he knows what he is talking about. Life is too short to have the wool pulled over one's eyes. I enjoy myself more when someone is NOT seriously trying to jerk my chain. Life is too long to allow such a gross conceptual error to continue!


I don't know. There may still be a conspiracy unfolding....at the very least, some real chain-pulling – and at worst, truly gross conceptual error…

Life IS too short for (this) type of behavior….
Reading through this, I don't feel like Pettyofficer got a fair shake. He pointed out a glaring mistake and got nothing but evasive and attacking responses. Attacking his typing doesn't seem to resolve the issue. Also, the fact that you guys are having trouble reading a paragraph worries me about the quality of anything written on Audiogon.

His frustration may have roots in the fact that he is right and no one has sided with him or admitted their error.

I lack the knowledge to refute the technical aspects provided here in PO’s statements. I took a mild jab at his good character based solely on his approach – which is, needless to say, quite “over-the-top!” It is his “approach” that leads some to question PO’s medications and dosages - which in itself, really needn’t be viewed as an insult – given that statistics indicate a good portion of this very community is taking meds (those kinds of meds).

A simple word of advice for PO….brevity.
