Would this be an upgrade?


Hi- I've been using a Theta Miles cd player which is the balanced version and like it alot. But, I have a Sony 9000es dvd player and was wondering if I add a dac to that would it sound better? The dacs that I was interested in are the Theta Basic IIIa and the Classe DAC-1.
Please let me know if anyone has any ideas or feedback on this.

Thanks Jim

I owned the Pro Basic IIIa for a few years. When I was deciding on which level of Theta I wanted I auditioned all of their products. IMHO the Pro Basic IIIa was clearly superior to the Pro Prime IIa. If the Pro Prime IIa is a 6, then the Pro Basic IIIa is an 8. I was a very happy customer and appreciated the 'drive' and 'pace' that came out of the Theta products. I drove mine however with the Theta transport and do not know anything about the Sony as a transport.
