Offered is „SIX SHOOTER“ by Theta Digital as second-hand device from the category „Sound Processor (Digital)“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 7938462997 ends on 12.11.2026 at 06:16 o'clock.
Should you jump on it at €900? For a Theta piece like this, that’s fair-to-good money, not a steal, because the original pricing was high and the used market for Theta’s older control gear still tends to sit in the four-figure range when examples are clean and complete. If this unit is genuinely in good condition with a working remote and no quirks, €900 looks like a reasonable buy rather than an inflated ask.
What makes it worth considering is Theta’s long-standing reputation for serious, no-nonsense preamp/processor engineering and strong owner satisfaction on its control gear. The upside here is mostly in getting a well-built, higher-end preamp section at a fraction of its original cost; with older Theta pieces, completeness matters, so check the remote, inputs, and any signs of age-related wear before paying up.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Theta Digital emerged in the late 1980s from a research project by a group of music enthusiasts in the United States, determined to overcome the harsh sound of early compact discs. Their breakthrough came with the 1988 release of the DS Pre, the world's first DSP-based outboard digital-to-analog converter, which revealed unprecedented musical detail and set a new benchmark for digital playback. Rooted in a philosophy of non-obsolescence, the company emphasized upgradeable designs, allowing owners to evolve their systems without waste, a commitment that defined its early heritage.
The brand specializes in high-end digital audio components, particularly DACs renowned for their lifelike transparency and two-channel purity. Iconic products like the Casablanca series—starting in 1995—evolved into modular music and cinema controllers with open architecture, supporting up to 12 channels, advanced DSP processing, and bandwidths reaching 192 kHz. Under the stewardship of figures like Morris Kessler of Amplifier Technologies and engineer Dave Reich, Theta also produces elite amplifiers such as the Dreadnaught and Citadel, blending cutting-edge tech with audiophile-grade build quality.
Positioned firmly in the high-end audio market, Theta commands a cult following among discerning buyers for its uncompromising sound and longevity. Though production has waned in recent years following company changes, its legacy endures through still-upgradeable Casablanca units and a reputation for products that outperform contemporaries, appealing to serious collectors and home theater aficionados seeking timeless excellence.
