RE: Competition for the Monarchy M24????

Digital Drive

Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

Haven't heard it, but how about a used Metrum Octave? Sadly, R2R dacs are far and few between these days and eve more so in the lower end of the price spectrum. Good luck with your search but I wouldn't totally discount the Monarchy, since small signal tubes aren't really maintenance intensive and don't throw out much heat. You could also pull out the two preamp section tubes leaving only the pair in the DAC section. Heck, you could even pull those out as well and use the OP-amp dac out.
