Six Shooter
Overview
 |
Theta's solution for the purest transfer of analog signals from SACD and DVD Audio players, integrating with the digital signals processed in Casablanca III.
Once a signal has been converted from digital to analog, it is vulnerable. In the SACD and DVD-A players currently available, the analog signal is subjected to enough abuse to negate most if not all of the sonic advantages of these theoretically superior formats.
Theta protects the analog signal by isolating it from Casablanca: Six Shooter is simply a fine straight-line analog preamplifier, controlled seamlessly by the Casablanca. The multi channel signal's volume is controlled by individual metal film resistors, just like in the very best audiophile 2-channel preamplifiers.
Six Shooter at first glance might seem like an expensive switcher. However, this is a perfectionist piece at a realistic price once the quality is considered.
For more specific information, along with diagrams showing connectors and illustrating signal paths, please see the technical addendum which is being added to the Casablanca manual.
