for the DIP 24/96 upsampler
Added the DIP upsampler into my system and was amazed at the increase in soundstage, with the DIP in the sound instantly become three dimensional. I have listened to numerous CD players over the past 2 years and had yet to hear one in the under $1000.00 range that could produce this speaker disapearing act. With the DIP now installed in my modest system which consists of a modified MSB Link DAC III with a HC-2b outboard power supply from Monolithic Sound and a Cambridge CD4 as transport my digital front end has rekindled my interest in CD's.I would highly recommend the DIP upsampler to any one who is using a older or midfi transport, the difference is qiute noticable. I would have to say that with all the purchases and product upgades I have done in the last 3 years adding the Monarchy DIP upsampler has given me the most noticable effect on my system.
Anyway that's my 2 cents, happy listening
Dan.
