help jitter, toslink, and DVD question

I'm currently using a mid-priced ($450) Toshiba DVD player as a transport into a Monster Toslink cable to a B&K Ref 30 pre/pro for both music and movies. I've been concernced that I may be "missing out" because my transport may be full of jitter or other problems, and some on this site think Toslink cables are crap.

Instead of replacing the DVD, I'm considering purchasing a used Monarchy DIP jitter reducer and a higher quality digital coax cable(to run from the Monarchy to my B&K for decoding). I'm thinking this may be a low cost upgrade that will smooth things out (even though I don't know what jitter is doing in my current system...).

Does this sound reasonable? And, should I ditch the Monster Toslink going from the DVD player into the Monarchy and just buy two new digital coax cables(so I will be using digital coax all the way around)? Any suggestions for low-cost, high-quality cables (and where to get them) would be much appreciated!

Try Camelot Dragon 5.1 jitter reducer. It is actually the first unit to reduce jitter in 2-channel from Music CD and 5.1-Channel from DVD Movies while other jitter reducers can only do 2-channel (as stated on Camelot website).

I'm using it with Pioneer DVD Player to smooth out the sound of DVD Movies. For 2-channel music I use "Digital Flywheel" features from my EAD TM Signature.
