Could Monarchy DIP Combo improve my Logitech Touch


Would the Monarchy DIP Combo improve my Logitech Touch? I am not sure what type of jitter issues would the logitech transfer to my DAC (Chord DAC64)?
Any suggestion?

I think the question should rather be: "Would the Monarchy DIP Combo improve the Chord DAC64?" As DIPs tend to show the greatest improvement with DACs sensitive to transport and digital cable quality, but may otherwise be great (jitter reduction not their greatest asset).
Answering your question, yes, I believe it probably would based on my experience with Monarchy DIPs.

By the way, didn't you post this question already a few weeks ago?
I own the Touch and I just recieved on trial a Monarchy 48/96 upsampler DIP to see if the Touch digital output can be further improved.
I thought about the combo but I cant see what advantage the combo would bring if my Dac can process a 24 bit 96 khz signal.

Not sure if these units need some break in time, but most electronics do, so I will report back in about a week.
Rapogee,

I had the DIP combo inline between the Duet and a Havana DAC and could not tell much of a difference. When I replaced the Duet with the Touch I did a bit of A/B'ing with the DIP combo in then out of the chain and again I could not pick up a difference so I took it out of my system.

By the bye, the improvement from using the Duet receiver to the Touch as a digital transport to my DAC was significant improvement; which was quite surprising. I am interested in what Ozzy finds.
Those days when I had good transports, jitter was always an issue and plugging in the DTI by Audio Alchemy then and even the digital lense by Genesis was incredible.

I was just curious if the Logitech Touch, a digital format with no moving parts but not knowing how good the digital interface is would serve better in eliminating jitter issues and clock speeds of my DAC. I wonder how much demodulation is required or takes place from the incoming signal of my Touch going to my DAC?
I know they exist and would like to know if the Monarchy is necessary or will provide minimal use in the chain. I guess I have to get one and tried it out.

Rapogee, you might want to spend a little time & understand the (complex) Chord DAC64 before you ask such questions. The Chord DAC64 is a pretty kick-ass DAC even tho' it's not the lates & greatest audiophile widget out there.
Specifically, the DAC64 has the ability to buffer the music for 2 seconds or 4 seconds, which is exactly akin to asynchronous rate change. It uses a pretty deep FIFO (first in, first out) buffer before the digital music is feed into the DAC. It's a built in Monarchy DIP but much better. It looks like you are quite unaware of this handy feature! You need to read the manual & figure out how to turn on this feature.
Once this feature is on, adding an external jitter reduction/elimination box will/should have no effect.
