For Sale: Monarchy Audio Digital Interface Processor (DIP) $100+shipping
This little box is a great way to improve the sound from a cdp before it goes to a dac. This is the Classic model I believe. It worked great between the Monica or Adcom dac and the sony es cdp. It has selectable coax and optical inputs with coax and AES/EBU outputs. I used it to convert an optical signal to coax to work with the sony cdp. Really took that digititus away!

    Excellent price! Good luck with your sale.
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    Have you ever used it between a pc and 2 channel pre?

    Wondering how it would work streaming pandora over digital coaxial into the dip then regular coaxial into a two channel pre set at bypass.

    I havent tried that, no computer source yet. I think it would help lower the jitter on the digital out of a pc . That helps reduce the digititus.

    Does this unit upsample at all? I can't remember if the Classic does or not.

    No upsampling, at least thats what I remember. I used it for cd playback only and it worked well.
