Refinements in Casablanca's basic processing have improved both sound and picture quality. Sound:The highs are extended: detail in the uppermost regions is more delineated while maintaining Theta's famous liquidity. Background is more 'black' (This means an absence of even infinitesimal noise). Imaging is even better than before. Bass is better defined, and extends lower. Image:Complex scene...[more]

The key to these new features was the development of a new expandable post-processing card:  the PR-3.  The new card quadruples the DSP power of the platform, increases the audio bandwidth, consolidates all digital inputs onto a single input slot, frees another slot for future expansion, has space to add additional processing power and uses multiple FPGA devices to allow the addition ...[more]

The Citadel is a monaural power amplifier offering all the advantages of the knowledge, the research and dedication that Team theta brought to the Dreadnaught-and then some.

The Compli Blu, like all the other transports before it, is based on a manufacturing kit obtained from ...[more]

The Enterprise is a monaural 300 watt power amplifier based on the Citadel, Theta's most powerful amplifier, and the Dreadnaught II. It benefits from the knowledge, research and dedication that team Theta brought to those superlatives designs. Enterprise has been created to power superb two channel music reproduction systems, as well as delivering abundant power to home theater systems, to fai...[more]

PROGENY a gives you Theta's famous programming, on upgradeable ROM chips, and a powerful computer to run it. Built by robot (and checked by human technicians), its circuits use no wire, which allows for simpler, more efficient production techniques, helping make Progeny a Theta's most affordable D to A. (A Progeny a can be cost-effectively upgraded to a Prime IIa) PROGENY a 4 X oversampling, du...[more]

Casablanca II relieves music lovers of the painful dilemma of choosing between high quality, faithful music reproduction equipment, and the highly compromised components that provide for video's specialized sonic decoding, processing, and switching. Flexibility is a key concept. Casablanca II is a multi-purpose component; each Casablanca II owner decides exactly how he wants to have his unit co...[more]

Theta Digital invented separate component digital to analog converters shortly after the introduction of compact disc players in order to provide improved sound quality from digital sources. Theta has won acclaim for pioneering important technology in "high end" (audiophile) digital sound reproduction. Casablanca marked a new path in home entertainment systems, by bringing together the highest qua...[more]

Separate digital to analogue converters used to be the preserve of the few. Good processors did not come cheap, and even today many entry level black boxes, although very good, have many a rough edge. Add to this South African import duties and the exchange rate, and a good processor means plenty of money. However, every so often one finds a product that is so good, and so musical, that price be...[more]

We've been on a long quest to bring back the magical sense of aliveness, the delicate illusions of an involving, moving musical experience. Now, with the Chroma, Theta's expertise has been turned to making as much as possible of this "state of the art" listening pleasure available in a popular price range. Inspired by our multi-thousand-dollar reference standard D/A converters, Chroma's design...[more]

Quality and Versatility: Remarkably versatile Compli Multi-Format DVD Player Combines a high-quality DVD and CD transport with state-of-the-art processing. Compli comes as close to serving as a universal format source component as A/V technology allows. The Compli’s combination of sophistication and exceptional versatility provides extraordinarily high quality playback for a multiplicity of l...[more]

Voyager and DaViD II are both based on very stable drive mechanisms, for the most accurate reading of discs. Then, Theta's powerful technology deals with jitter and digital noise, the two most pervasive problems for digital signals. DVD's disparate clock speeds (16 mHz audio and 18 mHz video) multiply digital noise, as they tend to interact. This noise can degrade both sound and picture, creatin...[more]

Dreadnaught is an audiophile caliber amplifier with total flexibility in terms of how many channels (from two to five) are installed at any given time. It can begin as a stereo amplifier, and grow to five channels later. It should measure 19" x 9.5" x 23 1/2" and weigh up to 120 lbs. Projected release date is October first. Many multichannel amplifiers are available from companies that do no...[more]

The Dreadnaught II is Theta Digital’s zero-feedback, fully balanced differential amplifier. It is an audiofile-caliber two to ten channel power amplifier. Amplification modules can easily be installed at any time. Each module is a separate "plug & play" unit. Dreadnaught II can begin as a stereo amplifier, and grow to five full-power channels later. Use Two-Channel modules in any of Dreadnaug...[more]

The Generation VIII has all of the sonic benefits of an "upsampling" processor, and none of the drawbacks. Upsampling, a term from the professional recording industry, refers to a box added between a digital source and a converter. The "upsampler" allows "noise shaping," and adjustments of other parameters in a digital signal. Typically it provides 2x oversampl...[more]

The Intrepid is a solid state, fully balanced power amplifier with five built-in channels. The nominal power rating into 8 ohms with one or all five channels driven is 100 Watts/ch. Each channel has single-ended and balanced inputs, and a high-current, dual binding post output connector. Countries within the European Union will be supplied with a CE-approved version. There is a main power switch o...[more]

PRIME IIa gives you Theta's famous programming on upgradeable ROM chips, and a powerful computer to do the work.Like the Generation Va, it comes balanced, and has the same innovative balanced-to-single-ended summing network. This sophisticated technique gives you most of the advantages of balanced operation even in single-ended mode. "Space, dimension and musicality are reproduced superbly. Pa...[more]

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. ...[more]

Theta Digital's Timebase Linque Conditioner (TLC) works by "cleaning up" the digital signal from your transport or other digital source. Inside the TLC, the digital signal is conditioned with ultra-fast logic and re-clocked with an ultra-low-jitter master clock. The TLC can be used to improve the quality of virtually any digital source, producing increased detail more stable imaging, and better ...[more]
