Theta GenVa Upgrade

I want to upgrade my DAC and have been waiting for Theta to come out with their Gen VI, but I am starting to wonder if they will ever produce it. They have a habit of announcing products years before they produce them and given all of their attention to surround processors lately I am starting to wonder if they will produce a Gen VI at all. Any suggestions on a DAC in the $5000-6000 range that would improve on the sound of the Gen Va? I have been considering the MSB Platinum DAC. Thanks

I have a Theta Va and was wondering what the "96K" mod does, exactly. Theta tells me it is NOT 24/96. Comments from you guys who have it? Incidently, a Genesis Digital Lens between your transport and the Va will do wonders.

Hifigy: What do you mean by "transport sensitive" with regard to the Digital Lens? This sounds interesting. As to the Lazer Linque, I'd love to try it and my brother has a Theta IIIa with that input. He also has the cable but neither one of us has a transport with that output and I certainly don't want to send mine back to Theta for an $800 upgrade. We live in central Florida which has lots of people (too many) and lots of audiophiles so maybe we can find one to try out.
