External DAC and Theta Casablanca II
Let me know your findings. 
External DAC and Theta Casablanca II
Hey Richard,Do you mean the Analog Direct, Matrix ect... I'm pretty sure they are but I've never used that piece so you might want to double check. The Casanova was just a step down from the CB but does provide alot of the sa,e functions. 
External DAC and Theta Casablanca II
Hey Raks,If you set your Casablanca to Analog Direct you will not be using the Dacs in the Casablanca. The only controls the casablanca will do in this mode will be volume control and speaker levels. Nothing else. Stereo mode will kick in your Dac...

Ok well thanks a bunch for your responses. At least you know what I'm trying to find out. If I hear anything that answers these questions I'll post back.I think if you bump up to a CB3 w/extremes you'll hear a major difference IMHO. Hopefully Thet... 
sub wiring question
I have another question on wiring the SMS. I'm using both the RCA and XLR on the SMS. One is for my two channel and one is for HT. Because I'm suing both does this fix the either xover @ 80hz or can I go into the setup and change the xover and slope? 
theta crossover question

Hey Scott,Well the Superior II Dacs are a bit dated so most of the current Dacs would probably yield better Sonics. But some may disagree. The digi out card is about $500 retail. I found one here on the gon for less but any Theta dealer would prob...

You could also buy a digital out card and use it in one of your open slots in the CB. If you don't have an open slot just remove one of your lower quailty dac cards and replace with the digital out card. Then you can plug and external dac via coax...

Just bought the Art Audio Vinyl Reference. Wow what a difference that made in my system. One of the best I've heard. 
Contacting Classic Records / themusic.com
I just purchased one of the new clarity vinyl LP's. I didn't find it better than what's currently out there. Funny thing is I received and e-mail from music.com (where is purchased it) recalling the LP. I'd hold off a bit before you invest in the ... 
Phono Cable Suggestions?
Nordost Heimdall is excellent. I've also used SR Tricon. (Currently listed here). Both are excellent. I agree about paying big dollars for these cable so buy them used and save.
