CASABLANCA IV

The Casablanca IV remains the finest sounding, most flexible preamplifier / processor available today even 18 years after its initial appearance in 1996. Continuous upgrades have maintained our vision of a reference-worthy multi-channel audio processor with audiophile performance, come-hither cosmetics and world-class usability and maintained essential contemporary features. The 2012 revision to the III HD brought a new, Dave Reich designed power supply with HDMI and lossless audio decoding. Today’s upgrade to the Casablanca IV brings 4k HDMI video pass-through (when upgrading a Casablanca I, II or III. The 4k HDMI card is an option when upgrading the Casablanca III HD), state-of-the-art audio bandwidth to 192 kHz, increases DSP processing power by a factor of 10, adds world-class digital room correction and optimization from Dirac Live operating at a world-leading 96 kHz and our novel Jitter Jail II to fix insidious timing errors especially inherent in HDMI audio signals. Only Theta Digital has offered such quality and long-term value in this ever-changing product category.

THE THETA STORY

LUMIN S1

The FLAGSHIP model, LUMIN S1 adds DSD128 5.6Mhz support by utilizing 4 ESS SABRE32 Reference DAC chips to deliver a total of 16 DACs per channel in parallel.

While LUMIN S1 brings greater resolution and a more dynamic sound, no stone has been left unturned to ensure that the characteristic LUMIN musicality is delivered. This has involved tuning every part of the system to complement these new DAC chips, including revising the clocking system and enhancing the external dual-toroidal power supply.
