The Muse with the Bessel filter is a very good piece. They also used the Cardas AES/EBU cable from the XLR digital input to the board. With a good Transport, Theta Basic or Basic II, Muse 5, etc., it is hard to beat. I have compared to the Theta Gen V and they were very close with subtle differences;Theta a bit wider in the stage, the Muse fuller and a bit more bass weight. Both could "slam" in the bottom end however. The EAD's I have heard are good sounding pieces. The match with your Transport is probably the most important factor. jeff
