Theta DS Pro Gen V - can you tell me about it?


Saw one of these used DACs in a dealer's today - freaking huge, 3 digital inputs, coax tape in/outs - looks in good condition.

On sale for a bit less than a used Musical Fidelity Tri-Vista DAC / a bit more than a used Meridian 566.

How does it stack up to its older and newer peers?

Cheers!

I have a Gen III and am considering upgrading to a Gen Va,as my Gen III suffers from a hyped-up sounding upper midrange. However, what I am gathering from Rayhall's comments is that the Gen Va does not obliterate this characteristinc altogether.

I am also considering modding the Gen III with High-Quality caps to smooth out the sound. I want to make the best re-use of the Theta's power supplies. I want to retain the dynamics, but end up with a mellower tonal balance.
Any suggestions?
