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

RE: You should probably have a listen to them both first.

Interestingly, the PCM63 has a more robust current output than the 1704, which makes it more friendly for passive I/V conversion (the Monarchy uses just a resistor). I once inquired about the 1704 upgrade and was told by CC that the 1704 wouldn't work in that design...a couple of years later he came out with the 1704 in the Monarchy!

I am probably one of the few who has had both side by side in very resolution systems (Apogee Grand, Acoustat etc.). Both are great but I find the 63 version to be just about as resolute but with a bit less edge to the sound.
