Theta Dreams

I had a weird dream lastnight. Ninjas were flying on rooftops chasing me down, for I stole their sacred Theta DAC. As I alluded their chase, I slipped into a house and found an ordinary looking system. There, I plugged the Theta in, powered it up, and began to be enthralled by all the audiophile nuances. I thought to myself, Theta is outdated technology? Maybe it just sounded better since I was running for my life.

Yes, I was running a fever. Too tired to move my ass out of bed and into the living room to listen to my system, so I had to dream about stealing someone else's system. Or, maybe I subconsciously desire Theta. I always had a thing for Greek food.

You might say so; I could not possibly comment. ;-)

They prefer "oversampling,' which the Gen VIII certainly does.

I must say that no information beyond that which you can see at the website was supplied to me in the accompanying materials so I cannot offer more. My understanding is that earlier "generations" will be upgradeable and that the technology will be and is trickling down into other products such as the Compli player/transport and the Theta pre/pro controllers.

Personally, I am less concerned with Theta's implementation of up/oversampling in a product where it is undefeatable and, therefore, inherent in the product's overall performance. Had it been defeatable, it would have been more of an issue.

Can you explicitely distinguish upsampling from oversampling? ;-)
