Could Monarchy DIP Combo improve my Logitech Touch


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?

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.
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.
