Theta DS Pro Basic Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) DA Wandler ** good condition, fully functional, see fotos ** ZUSTANDGebraucht.Äußerlich sehr guter Zustand, nur leichte Kratzer, weiterhin Spuren an den Kanten, beispielhaft in den Fotos gezeigt.Aus tierfreiem Nichtraucherhaushalt.FUNKTION- zwei digitale Eingänge (RCA, SPDIF)- ein digitaler Ausgang (RCA, SPDIF)- ein analoger Ausgang (RCA)Laut Vorbesitzer wurde der DAC technisch komplett überholt. Dazu habe ich jedoch keine Unterlagen. Das Herstellungsdatum auf den Kondensatoren (vgl. Fotos, Yageo manufacture date-code 09/13 und 02/16) zeigt zumindest, dass einige Komponenten 2013/2016 erneuert wurden.Dieser Wandler liefert an den RCA-Ausgängen mit knapp 17 dBV (ca. 7V eff./0 dBFS bei 19 dBu) ein sehr starkes Ausgangssignal, was in einer hochwertigen Anlage von Vorteil ist, aber heutige Consumer-Geräte überfordern kann. Im Consumerbereich sind heute nur noch -10 dBV üblich.Am Eingang benötigt der Theta eine hochwertige digitale Quelle mit einem sauberen Takt, da seine Elektronik zur Taktsynchronisierung noch auf dem Stand von 1990 ist. Wer ein Gerät mit einem unsauberen Takt (z.B. Apple TV zweite Generation) als Quelle verwenden möchte, braucht dazwischen einen Jitter Killer.Wenn der Theta nicht sofort einen Lock auf das Eingangssignal bekommt (rote LED), muss einmal zwischen den Eingängen umgeschaltet werden.Klanglich ist der Theta hervorragend, klingt ebenso gut wie Studiogeräte z.B. von RME. Der Signal-Rauschabstand ist auch sehr gut.LIEFERUMFANGWie auf den Fotos abgebildet, keine OVP, kein weiteres Zubehör.VERSANDPer DHL mit Sendungsverfolgung innerhalb 48 h.PRIVATVERKAUFPrivatverkauf, daher ohne Gewährleistung und ohne Rücknahme.

Theta DS Pro Prime D/A processor. Works perfectly with no issues. Description: 4x-oversampling software-based D/A processor with Bitstream DAC. Digital filter: 4x-oversampling Theta composite filter using one Motorola 56001 DSP chip. D/A conversion: 64x-oversampling Philips Bitstream DAC. Frequency response: DC–20kHz +0dB, –0.4dB. THD+N –104dB at 1kHz referenced to full scale. Output impedance: 50 ohms.Dimensions: 19 W by 2.5 H by 10.5 D. Weight: 14 lbs net, 16 lbs shipping.Price: $1250 the Primes soundstage presentation and resolution of spatial cues were rare to hear from any digital processor, never mind one that costs $1250.After getting over the Primes stunning soundstage, the next aspect that grabbed my attention was the units dynamics. The Prime presented an effortless feeling of power, allowing the musics dynamics to more fully express themselves. There was a razor-sharp edge to transients, coupled with an ability to reveal wide dynamic contrasts. The result was a sense of suddenness, immediacy, power, and life. These qualities tended to make listening an active participatory experience, rather than a casual endeavor.

This THETA DIGITAL DS Pro Progeny D/A Converter is a top-of-the-line digital signal processor that delivers exceptional audio quality. Designed with precision and care, it boasts a sleek black finish and measures 19W x 2.3H x 10.1D. Made in the United States, this piece of home audio equipment is perfect for enhancing your music listening experience. Whether youre a professional audiophile or simply enjoy high-quality sound, this THETA DIGITAL DS Pro Progeny D/A Converter is a must-have for any home audio setup.

For sale is a Theta DS Pro Generation III digital processor in good condition. This DAC has been recently serviced and new electronic components put in such as 2 toggle switches, a capacitor, and a resistor. Our tech has confirmed this piece is in great working order and sounding awesome. Cosmetically there are some blemishes like edge wear on the front face and sides of the unit. There is also some marks on the top plate of the DAC and the rubber of the power cable has some tears in it. All of these blemishes have been showcased in the photos. Although these piece has some obvious signs of use, it is still 100% functional and sounding absolutely incredible. The Theta DS Pro Generation III is a superb product worthy of my highest recommendation. Listening through it, I consistently crossed the threshold from good sound to total immersion in the music. This was digital playback of the highest caliber. Moreover, the Gen.III had much less of a distinctive signature than previous Theta processors, with a smoother treble, better portrayal of instrumental textures, and a more refined, yet bigger, soundstage. In addition, the Gen.IIIs bass performance—extension, control, power, and warmth—was beyond reproach. - stereophile.com SPECIFICATIONSDescription: Solid-state D/A processor.Frequency response: DC–21.72kHz (no tolerance given)Decoding software: proprietary time- and frequency-domain optimizationMath resolution: 56 bitsComputing power: 45 MIPS (million instructions per second).Inputs: four coaxial on RCA jacks (Toslink and AT&T ST-type optical inputs optional)Digital output: one RCA jack, S/PDIFAnalog output: Single-ended on RCA jacks, 3.4V minimum at full scale (balanced on XLR jacks optional)S/N ratio: 120dBResolution: 20 bitsLinearity: 20 bitsTHD: 0.002% at full scaleOutput impedance: 2 ohmsDimensions: 19 W by 15.5 D by 3.875 H.

Working, Very good condition. Very nice sounding D/A converter. $1250 originally. From a 1991 Stereophile review written by Robert Harley:Parts quality is very high. The capacitors associated with the Bitstream DAC are primarily polystyrene, all resistors are 1% metal-film types, and four of the resistors in the feedback loop are $3 non-inductive wirewound types. These resistors reportedly had a huge effect on the Primes sound quality. In addition, a few Teflon capacitors (very expensive) are used in critical audio stages. The metal work is zinc over copper over steel, and the pcb is glass epoxy.MusicI could go on, but you get the idea. In short, the Primes soundstage presentation and resolution of spatial cues were rare to hear from any digital processor, never mind one that costs $1250.After getting over the Primes stunning soundstage, the next aspect that grabbed my attention was the units dynamics. The Prime presented an effortless feeling of power, allowing the musics dynamics to more fully express themselves. There was a razor-sharp edge to transients, coupled with an ability to reveal wide dynamic contrasts. The result was a sense of suddenness, immediacy, power, and life.ConclusionAt $1250, the Theta DS Pro Prime represents another significant increase in the price/performance ratio of digital processors. It clearly outperformed every processor in its price range, and rivaled those costing much more. Its overall performance was better than that of Thetas DS Pro Basic, a unit that itself brought a new level of performance to a sensible price. In fact, processors with the Primes sound and costing as much as $3000 would still receive a recommendation.The Primes strengths are many: robust and powerful bass, smooth tonal balance, and best of all, a stunning presentation of soundstage. This last quality is the Primes highlight. Its ability to reveal spatial cues within a huge, transparent soundstage was remarkable, and easily superior to processors costing many times more.
