Is the Monarchy DIP effective?


Considering buying a Monarchy DIP between a Sony 7700 dvd and a CAL Sigma 24/96 dac. Would I benefit using one and how much of a difference can I expect?

Ok, just tried this morning again with switching the Monarchy Combo unit in and out many times.
I am hearing a clearer sound including the vocal and there is a bit more bite or snap to the instruments. Perhaps it is a keeper. The 96 is better than the 44.1.
Cerrot, did you find using the Balanced digital out to be an advantage ?
Since all my other equipment is balanced, to me the Monarchy sounds a little better using the balanced digital out.
Just purchased a monarchy 48 and a monarchy 24/96 and CI audio ps and a ps audio 300 for my I transport and front end soure... i transport, dac & hp amp. If I use the DIP in tandem ,what order should it be ? It will go to a wadia 27 dac. Any recomendation for digital cables?

Rpssb, place the DIP 24/96 first -- this units job is jitter reduction only. Second, place the DIP 48/96 unit -- this units job is primarily sample rate conversion & secondarily jitter reduction. Hope that this makes the connection order clear. Thanks.
Well, after a very tedious comparison with or without the Monarchy Combo in the signal chain, I have concluded with my ears and my system that the Combo does little if anything to improve upon the sound of the Squeezebox Touch.

As I stated earlier in the thread, at times I thought there was an improvement.
But I think that the occasional ray of improvement was just mind over matter.

I will be sending the Monarchy Combo unit back Monday.
