Price Paid:
$4500.00 Summary:
I was looking for a High End surround processor for 6 month and tryed everything that is possible to try, Proceed AVP, Meridian 561,568,861, Lexicon DC1, Integra Research RDC7, EAD Theater Master and Anthem. They are all graet units, but for my ears nothing toches Theta Casa Nova only Meridian 861 and Cassablanca is better but also 3 times more expensive.
Only problem with Theta Casa Nova is that it's out dated but I hope Theta will come up with some new upgrades like 6 channle pass through for SACD and DVD Audio, and maybe with 192/24 or 384/24 bit D/A convertoers like they did for Casa Nova's big brother Casablanca II.
Integra Research is also great unit with 7.1 and 192/24 DAC and fire wire expencion port, but Nova sounded much better.
It even sound better than more expencive processors like Theater Master Signature.
What can you expect from people who created the most advanced processor like Casablanca II which is used at Skywalker studio who created star wars, Nothing but the Best.
Strengths:
Sound, Built like a tank, Looks Weaknesses:
Remout control is too cheap for a unit, out dated (no six channel pass through for DVD A and SACD) Similar Products Used:
Onkyo 989, Onkyo 787, Sony 9000ES
