Berkeley Alpha DAC vs Theta Gen VIII and stuff...
Worldcat- From the Theta website:"8.Go into the Generation VIII Series 2 unit's setup menu and turn on RECLOCK for any high resolution digital sources (i.e. CD transport) to obtain the highest sound quality from those sources, or JITTER JAIL for a... 
Berkeley Alpha DAC vs Theta Gen VIII and stuff...
I use the Gen8V2 with my Transporter and love the combo. I had a Modwright Transporter and sold it.I set one of the inputs on the Gen8 to Fixed Volume and it works perfectly for my home theater. The Theta Gen8V2 is a first rate DAC/linestage that ... 
New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre
I didn't get the setup or sound in the JRDG/Vienna/Marantz/PD Soundings room at all. It was like watching a 100" screen three feet away. The soundstage was flat with no dimensionality and the bass was boomy. I sat in the sweet spot on two differen...

Congratulations on the arrival of your Revelations Springbok10. Looking forward to your future reports. Enjoy!! 
Super Dac under $20K?
I would try to audition the new Theta Generation VIII Series 2 DAC. 
Reference DACS: An overall perspective
In keeping with Theta's tradition, an original Gen VIII can easily be upgraded to a Series 2. I know of at least two owners of original Gen VIIIs that did the upgrade to Series 2. I believe the price is $1500 for original owners, slightly higher f... 
Are Theta amps made by Ayre ?

Need Amp Recommendation
Are your Citadels originals or 1.5s? If originals, you may want to contact Theta and discuss the 1.5 upgrade, it is supposed to be significant. Just another option.

Hi G. I've only used the Theta with the Transporter, Audioquest Panther balanced I/Cs and Michael Wolff power cord.As I said, it was far from a definitive "shootout", bit it was really, really obvious to myself and two other listeners which sounde... 
Reference DACS: An overall perspective
The new Theta Digital Generation VIII Series 2 should be put on the "must audition" list. This piece is absolutely incredible, and the best digital I've had in my system. I recently compared it, albeit briefly, to a one box CD/SACD player that is ... 
Time to change. But to what?
Here is the correct link, sorry. 
Time to change. But to what?
If you can, take a listen to SP Technology. They do all the things you are looking for extremely well. They would also work well with your existing Pass Labs amplifier. There's lots of information about SP Technology at Audiocircle. I've had quite... 
Can someone suggest a turntable shelf?

Review: S P Technology Revelation MR-l MK lll Speaker
Great read Teajay. Bob is a modest man with a brilliant mind for designing loudspeakers. I'm running a pair of Continuum 2.5 III's with the standard crossover and they are fantastic. In my room, they have easily trumped a pair of "statement" speak...
