Could Monarchy DIP Combo improve my Logitech Touch

Those days when I had good transports, jitter was always an issue and plugging in the DTI by Audio Alchemy then and even the digital lense by Genesis was incredible.

I was just curious if the Logitech Touch, a digital format with no moving parts but not knowing how good the digital interface is would serve better in eliminating jitter issues and clock speeds of my DAC. I wonder how much demodulation is required or takes place from the incoming signal of my Touch going to my DAC?
I know they exist and would like to know if the Monarchy is necessary or will provide minimal use in the chain. I guess I have to get one and tried it out.

Would the Monarchy DIP Combo improve my Logitech Touch? I am not sure what type of jitter issues would the logitech transfer to my DAC (Chord DAC64)?
Any suggestion?

Rapogee, you might want to spend a little time & understand the (complex) Chord DAC64 before you ask such questions. The Chord DAC64 is a pretty kick-ass DAC even tho' it's not the lates & greatest audiophile widget out there.
Specifically, the DAC64 has the ability to buffer the music for 2 seconds or 4 seconds, which is exactly akin to asynchronous rate change. It uses a pretty deep FIFO (first in, first out) buffer before the digital music is feed into the DAC. It's a built in Monarchy DIP but much better. It looks like you are quite unaware of this handy feature! You need to read the manual & figure out how to turn on this feature.
Once this feature is on, adding an external jitter reduction/elimination box will/should have no effect.

Bombaywalla,

Thanks for responds and agreeing that my DAC is good since it is a pretty kick-ass DAC even compared to the once I have tested, ARC DAC8, Ayre USB Dac and a few others to name. I did contact Chord and discussed about the buffering capabilities and also the clarification about it being an upsampling dac or not and its ability to relock any data coming in at 44.1 and 96khz.
Thanks for the clarification, either way I trust I have to understand this better but with some of the discussion I have been seeing with reclocking and demodulation using different oscillators in the system to provide the correct synchrony between the Transport and Dac has give me some curiosity. I always thought that jitter can not be completely eliminated from the Transports end and that there are always room for improvements. You are probably right since even with the original Spectral DAC I had long ago, the Genesis Lens and all the interface out there did not make much of a difference since the Spectral took care of business as soon as it received its data.

Thanks again
I still should try it out and listen to my self once and laugh about it if I do get a chance to place it in the chain to see for myself.

I don't think the question is improving the dac, but the signal that is fed to it, specifically, here, the output of the touch. My berkley dac benefited from the monarch greatly. My benchmark did not benefit at all.

Well, I have now had the Squeezebox Touch playing through the Monarchy 48/96 Dip and then through my Cary 306 Pro Dac (24/96) for about 2 weeks .

The first few days I was convinced that the Monarchy unit was actually inferior to just running the Touch digital directly into my Cary Dac. I even called Monarchy asking if the unit requires some break in time. CC Poon said NO it is all digital "no breakin in time required".

Well, in my opinion it does need some break in. I let it play 24 hours a day for about 5 days playing a Purist Audio break in disc.

Now after 2 weeks I can say that the unit sounds much better. But I am not sure if it is still much of an improvement over just running the digital out from the Touch to my Dac.

Sometimes, I think there is a difference in the bass and soundstage presentation, but after switching back to the Touch direct to my Dac there was no loss of any improvements.

So, perhaps there needs to be more break in time, perhaps the Touch digital signal is so good that the Monarchy Dip is not necessary.
I will give it a few more days.

Anyone else have any thoughts or suggestions?

I will add that I am using a Morrow Dig4 cable to my Dac and Illuminati D60 from the Touch to the Monarchy Dip.
