Below are the improvements that Theta claims from the Series 2 upgrade.
1. New 24/192 DAC chip.
2. Up to 132 dB dynamic range (a 15 dB improvement over the Generation VIII).
3. Over 3X differential output current
4. Stop-band attenuation of –130 dB (a 48 dB improvement over the
Generation VIII): “That’s the built-in filter that shuts down the high-frequency bad stuff that we
don’t want getting in there. It’s doing that much more efficiently, and probably generating less
aliasing frequencies that might end up in the audio band generated from much higher frequencies.
That translates into less noise, distortion, and hard digital edge.”
5. Pass-band ripple +/- 0.00001 dB (a 200X improvement over the Generation
VIII)
6. Fully differential DAC follower op-amp with 150MHz bandwidth (a 70 MHz
improvement over the Generation VIII): “We’re using a better op-amp following the DAC. It
sounds better to us, and measures way better because it’s so much faster. It works with more ease,
and is able to handle more of what’s coming along without generating any of its own spurious
noise or distortion.

7. Four new discrete analog digitally controlled volume cards with zero offset
