Theta Dreams


I had a weird dream lastnight. Ninjas were flying on rooftops chasing me down, for I stole their sacred Theta DAC. As I alluded their chase, I slipped into a house and found an ordinary looking system. There, I plugged the Theta in, powered it up, and began to be enthralled by all the audiophile nuances. I thought to myself, Theta is outdated technology? Maybe it just sounded better since I was running for my life.

Yes, I was running a fever. Too tired to move my ass out of bed and into the living room to listen to my system, so I had to dream about stealing someone else's system. Or, maybe I subconsciously desire Theta. I always had a thing for Greek food.

It's a shame they left the two channel DAC market to concentrate on HT. I had a Pro Prime II and used it for many years. My Muse Model Nine did it in(barely) which sold for $3250 new some five years after the Prime II.
Viggen - OK, now I think I understand why there's no Theta in your rig (or your refrigerator): 1] Gyros don't have hummus (made from chick-peas) on them, they have tahini (made from sesame seeds), and 2] 'humus' is decayed organic matter that has turned to earth, so I surely hope my Gryo has none of that on it. (A proper Gyro is sliced fresh from the rotisserie while you watch [never order a 'Gyro' from a place without the rotisserie in plain view - they may not have one at all, and that's not a good thing], with lettuce, onion, tomato, tahini, and crumbled feta on top, served on a soft pita, with maybe a hot pepper and an olive or two on the side. Order with fries and a Coke.) Once you firmly grasp these finer points of Greek junk food, maybe there'll be a new DAC in your future and you can sleep easier... (Either that, or you've been eating yours too close to bedtime ;^)
Z-man, honestly, how do you expect me to sleep easier after reading your scrumptious description of proper gyro making? I am going to raid your refrigerator and steal your DAC.
KR: Just read your review, I guess you liked it (the DAC that is, not the sandwich :-)

I had been hoping to find something in the article addressing Theta's shunning of the fashionable practice of 'upsampling' (whether it's really just a terminology or an actual technology).
