I am using a Theta Six Shooter and am extremely pleased with it. I will wait for the HDMI upgrade to be released and based on its performance will then make a decision about using HDMI digital for multi channel or analog (or a hybrid - SACD analog, Blu Ray digital). Should I decide to go the analog route, it becomes a bit pointless to have 40 pound worth of a CBIII sitting in my rack doing Six Shooter controller duties, so I would consider finding a good alternative multi channel analog pre.
Although I won't be making this decision until I have heared Theta HDMI, it so happens a Switchman 3 has shown up for auction on audiogon. This would be one of the top contenders should I decide to go the analog route. If it goes dirt cheap I would consider buying it and keep it in storage until Theta HDMI/Analog decision time. Has anyone compared the switchman 3 with the six shooter - and if so what is the verdict?
