I have just sold my Gen Va. While waiting for my EMM combo to arrive, I picked up an used Muse Model 2 DAC for 300$ ... roughly 1/5th of what I got for my Theta. To my surprise, Muse is MUCH more musical, has graeater midrange fluidity and more body. Soundstage depth is greater too. Shure, bass doesn't have Theta's slam, resolution is slightly reduced, but overall, I prefer cheaper Muse. It also has a better jitter rejection than Theta, which makes a transort selection not so cruitial (which is the case with Gen Va).
Theta DS Pro Gen V - can you tell me about it?
Saw one of these used DACs in a dealer's today - freaking huge, 3 digital inputs, coax tape in/outs - looks in good condition.
On sale for a bit less than a used Musical Fidelity Tri-Vista DAC / a bit more than a used Meridian 566.
How does it stack up to its older and newer peers?
Cheers!
