Sorry about the lack of brevity, 2chnlben, but what do you expect from someone who is on drugs. Alright, lets try to set all hurt feelings aside, and I will try to be brief as possible. I firmly believe that the Rectifying Power Stage to ANY circuit IS part of that circuit. If Tubes are used in the Rectifying Power Stage of a circuit, then those Tubes ARE part of that circuit REGARDLESS if that circuit is an Analog Output Stage circuit or a Digital to Analog Converter circuit. All that you have to do is follow where the current flows to, and where it flows from within that closed circuit. If you are an Electronics Expert, and strongly disagree, and want to use distinctions to bolster your arguement, knock yourself out. I suppose that anyone can make a reasonable arguement based on distinctions.
New or Old DAC
I currently have an older Theta front end. Data ll transport & Chroma HDCD. I like it, even though it is old and discontinued. I would like to update my DAC first , I am looking for a Theta Pro Gen va. I know the sound of the older Theta stuff and like it. But, are there any newer DAC's out there in that $1K (used) price range that can really give an equal or better performance than the Pro Gen Va? Do the newer anti jitter (re-clocking) DACS fall into that price range?
thanks, mike
