If you are buying used get the Va and make sure it has balanced outputs even if you plan to go out single ended. I was told by Theta that there are significant improvements to the power supply and the audio circuits in the balanced units. The 24/96 mod does give you a better filter even for Redbook CD's. I loved my Gen Va but I gave up waiting for the VI. I bought an MSB Platinum which I think sounds much better. I also just got the dCS Elgar and 972 which is another step up. That said, for a good price, the Va is a good piece of gear.
Theta Gen V owners
I have a question for you guys,I am looking into purchasing a used Gen V dac and unsure about something.I see them called Gen V`s and also Gen Va.So my question is what is the difference between an Va and a V.I am thinking that the Va signifies a upgrade or mod or something,if so can you share with me the details of this or simply set me straight!
Thanks
