Monarchy Audio DIP/Upsampler Combo

Agree with Arni and, as for the benefit of the upsampling, if your dac does upsample, you probably would not experience the benefit I did, but, I'm not sure if it makes a difference to your dac accepting a 44.1k signal and than upsampling or accepting a 96k signal.

Again, with the Monarchy, my Berkley receives a 96k signal, and that was a hugh improvement compared to the dac w/o the Monarchy.

Ozzy, I was just at the Chord website. Are you sure your dac upsamples, or does it just accept higher sample rate signals? (big difference).

Cerrot, You typed Chord, instead of Cary Audio.
Yes, my Cary 306 SACD Pro can upsample to 768.

I doubt if the Monarchy would be an improvement, but I would like to at least try it.

Sorry, Ozzy. Thought you had the Chord. $400 bucks for the Combo and maybe 30 day trial so easy enough to try. Love to hear your findings. Happy Listening.

I am the one with the Chord 64 DAC, its not an upsampling DAC by the way. Probably have to try the DIP Combo and see how that works.
