| External DAC and Theta Casablanca II Doug... I haven't tried a plain old preamp to see if I'd like it better than my Casablanca. I've thought about that, but with DAC's being are all the rage right now, considering the fact that my Casablanca has the Extreme DAC's, I have the same qu... | |
| External DAC and Theta Casablanca II Analog Direct... Holy Crud... Didn't even know there was such a thing! Question... Do you have to have an Analog Out Card to run the Analog Direct Mode? I've got a II with Extreme DAC's and until I read the above I was under the misguided impressi... | |

| Kubala sosna new Elation cables Rcprince... My post saying "the Emotions are yesterday's news" was intended to be a compliment to the KS people for developing a new cable that bests the Emotions (though poorly worded). I sincerely hope my post didn't offend anyone. I've been slo... | |

I've only got two Music DVD's so I'm not real smart about this stuff but my James Taylor "One Man Band", and Cowboy Junkies "Trinity Revisited" DVD's have set up menus to change modes from 5.1 surround to 2 channel stereo.

| Surround Sound Processor Suggestions Audiofire5228... I went all Theta... I've got the Intrepid Amp and would love to get my hands on a Dreadnaught. What's held me back is the depth of the Dreadnaught. | |
| Surround Sound Processor Suggestions I owned the Theta Casanova and now own a Theta Casablanca II. In my experience I've found Theta equipment to be very reliable. The 2-channel analog on the Casablanca is better than anything I've ever owned, and the surround for HT is outstanding. | |
