Is the Monarchy DIP effective?

Ozzy good to read that the Monarchy Combo worked for the better for you.:-)

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.

you honestly tried & it did not work out for you - so be it. Too bad for you but also it might be that the SB Touch is already very good?
