| Which is better, Lex. DC 1 or Theta Casanova I have the Casanova. I traded a DC-1 for it. I think the Theta is much better overall for music and it does great HT. The Theta does volume control in the analog domain, i.e. it does not digitize and throw away data to attenuate volume. I too list... | |
| Audiophile Quality 5 Channel Amp? I went through this almost one year ago. The most important advice has been given over and over again...listen for yourself.The first 5-channel amp I listened to in my system was the Meridian. It's not welll known and you don't hear much about it.... | |
| Help needed to make processor decision. Mike,Casa Nova Specifications Conversion: A/D Conversion: 20-bit Delta-Sigma; D/A Conversion: 96kHz, 24 bitfrom the Theta web site. The Casanova has 24bit/96khz DACS.The A to D converters are 20bit. This is typical for most all processors. A/D's a... | |
| Which AV processors have an analog pass-thru? I just checked the Casanova manual.Analog inputs are routed directly to the tape-out i.e. bypasses all else in the pre-processor.Digital inputs derive the benefit of the Theta DACs and then the output is passed to the tape-outs untouched by any ot... | |
| Help needed to make processor decision. I agree, Lexicon should be considered seriously as well as Theta Digital Casanova. Both are available pre-owned at great prices. I had a Lexicon DC-1 then moved to the Casanova. | |
| Proceed AVP vs. Sim Attraction vs. Theta Casa Nova mgl23 is mistaken about the Casanova power-off default. It does not reset on power-off. This would make no sense becasue if it were true, every time you had a power failure the system would reset. I've had mine for over two years and never experie... | |
| PayPal versus C2it The reason I started this thread is because of the (continuing) less than steller experience people have had with PayPal. I use it to pre-pay shipping charges for COD items, usually around $100 but unless I verify soon I will lose that capability.... | |

| Dunlavy Cantata Feedback Please I auditioned the N804 and Cantata. In the end I felt the Dunlavy's were superior in there accuracy and smooth sound. B&W, to me, is too much of a mass marketed speaker. They come out with a new line, series, model every 6 mos or so it seems. W... | |
| Dunlavy Cantata Feedback Please I've had them for about 6 months and I think that they are an overlooked speaker my many. I'm shopping for an amp now to drive them but I also have SM-1 and 2-SC1AVs for a HT set up. Presently using 200wpc Adcom (yuk) with modest results. They nee... | |
| Lexicon mc-1 or Proceed avp?? You should at least consider (listen to) Theta Casanova. Very flexible in terms of buying the options you want and it is upgradeable. For example, I didn't order the video switching capability because the RPTV has plenty of inputs and why mess wit... | |
| Dunlavy Cantatas What Power Amp? Awd, You're right. The Cantatas are basically like the Athena/Aletha. When I auditioned the speakers it was with McCormack pwr amp, Wadia CD and pre-? There was nothing lacking during the audition. Steven I'll need to search out a Pass dealer to s... |
