Moderately priced jitter reduction devices

Hello all,

I've read with interest many of the threads in this section. After much thought, I think my plan of attack to start a PC based audio system will be to use a Squeezebox into a non-usb DAC. The reasons are mostly for the Squeezebox's user interface and the ability to have my PC located seperately.

I've read alot about the Empirical Audio products like the Pacecar and modified DACs. They sound great but are out of the budget for me. I'm thinking about a $4-500 used DAC to go with the Squeezebox. Does anyone have any experience with jitter reduction devices to work with this setup? I've read about the Monarchy DIP. Has anyone added this or a similar device to a setup like I propose and how were the results?

Thanks in advance. I've learned quite a lot reading on this site.
