Theta Gen VI? Nope, Gen VIII - UPDATE


Hey folks,
I've posted on this topic before, and can now confirm a prior thread I started w/regard to the name. Check the source:

http://www.thetadigital.com/theta.htm

"...all previous models going back to the original DS Pre and DS Pro can be upgraded to the performance and features of the Generation VIII."

"The Generation VIII will be available in first QTR 2002. The price of the DAC was unavailable at press time."

Great news for all of us Gen X owners. It does appear to be a completely different chassis, but maybe it's a simple as a new face plate.

In Theta's defense, they appear to have a company policy about charging for research. Maybe if they'd used the serial number date coding some companies do that job would be easier for them.
On the bright side, I bought a used Theta transport over the net that was missing its rear spike foot. Theta sent me a new one for free.
