Any point in using a Monarchy Audio DIP in front of a Benchmark DAC1?

Posted by dsdreamer on July 29, 2008 at 16:28:21:
I am planning on using a Toslink from an Apple Airport Express to stream to a Benchmark DAC1. I would like to do something about the likely jitter on the digital audio stream from the Airport Express, but fear that the Monarchy DIP may be doing nothing different than the asynchronous sample rate conversion the comprises the Benchmark's so-called "jitter rejection mechanism" already does.

I guess what I need here is a real 'PS/Genesis digital lens', so I may have to wait for PS Audio to get such a thing to market. But if anyone has an argument why the little black box from Monarchy audio should be considered for my application, I would be glad reconsider my position.

TIA, dsdreamer
