i agree Worldcat. these two piece's are not even in the same league. spent alot of time with the Theta a few years ago. a good friend had one. the Gen V was a nice DAC in it's day but it's lightyears behind what the PWD can do. repaired, modded and with ice cream on top.....the PWD will smoke it imo (as will many good/modern DAC's). don't waste any $$$ on the Theta.
Please advise: Upgrade Theta Gen V or PS Audio PW
I have a Theta Gen V version A balanced with the known transformers hum issue. I am debating about send it to be modded to eliminate the issue and improved farther the sound or sell it and buy a new PS Audio Perfect Wave since I don’t want to spend more then $2,500 in a new DAC.
The Theta is in mint cosmetically condition and sounds as intended it is just the little electromechanical hum created by the transformers that bothers me. I have been told that this is a know issue with Theta equipment.
So what do you recomment?
