The DS PRO BASIC IIIa was designed to come as close as possible in sound to the Generation Va, while adhering to a more modest price, The Basic IIIa shares the balanced and balanced-to-single-ended concept with the Generation Va.
It even uses electronic switching. A lot of the cost savings is from being in a single chassis rather than the triple internal chassis of the Generation Va.
