The Theta Gen VIII, as you probably know, is one of the best DACs you can buy.  There aren't many better, and none at the price.  It is THE best all-in-one DAC with a built-in Preamp so you can save considerable money on an expensive standalone preamp.   Richer sounding with greater detail than EMM Labs, Krell, and the other great D-to-As that are out there right now.  All the benefits of 24/384 upsampling with none of the drawbacks.  True tone, rich detail, deep bass, zero harshness.  Plus, absolutely, positively bulletproof reliability.  And not least, tremendous resale value.  There's a reason for that as you can tell - it's the sound.  And with Theta's lifetime upgrade policy, not only can you keep up with the state of the art as it moves forward, but also you're considerable investment will always be protected.  I can help you with that too down the road.        The Gen VIII is so good, in fact, that the original owner used several of them in favor of the Extreme DACs in his Theta Casablanca III.  In other words, his Casablanca III took the digital signals off the disk and fed them to individual Generation VIIIs for each surrround sound channel.  Each Theta Gen VIII - slaved to the Casablanca III - in turn fed each amplifier channel directly.  The ultimate surround sound set up.   FEATURES AND SPECS: Full differential balanced DAC Preamp Custom software programmable filters 2 DACs per channel 24 bit / 384 KHz User selectable reclocking: standard jitter reduction or "Jitter Jail" circuit Pure Class A analog ouptut stage 5 digital inputs—TOSLink, AES/EBU, 2 Coax, and BNC Each input assignable to one of the Generation VIII's five pre-set Input Select buttons 1 stereo pair of analog inputs, either (RCA) or balanced (XLR) connections for analog preamp function RS-232 port for Crestron and AMX contro, and future software upgrades IR Extender jack 12 volt trigger White noise signal generator for burning in your other components and cables Future options port One or more Gen VIIIs can also be slaved to the Theta’s Casablanca III controller for ultimate quality Home Theater installations Fully upgradeable   SELLING PRICE: The list price of the Theta Gen VIII is $11,000.  My Buy-It-Now price is $6,250 off!  More than HALF OFF a MINT unit in virtually new condtion.  It's a enormous savings over what a dealers charge for a Theta Gen VIII.  Just let me also say for the sake of clarity, that although one of the photos shows three Gen VIIIs beautifully mounted in a custom stand, this auction is of course for a single Theta Gen VIII.   DIMENSIONS:   17.625W x 17.75D x 5H inches (448mm x 451mm x 127mm)   SHIPPING WEIGHT: 35 lbs. approx. with accessories (13.1Kg)   FREE SHIPPING:  Shipping costs are listed below.   Shipping is FREE in the continental U.S.  Full insurance is included.  I welcome overseas international bidders.  We ship worldwide.  Note that you may be responsible for additional duty and taxes.  Also, please be aware that this unit is set for North American 120 voltage so you will have to have the unit modified for 220/240V operation, or purchase a voltage step-up / step-down transformer.
