As good as you think the Monarchy upsamplers are model
48/96 or whatever ,I found through a fellow audiophile a guy who is a true semi retired audio engineer that has worked for Theta and transformed my pre- dac-24
as well the 48/96 DIP ,he replaces the capacitors with much higher grade, specific Silver wire , and has a patent pending transformer setup that the professioanls are now using
that was developed strictly for digital and brings jitter to it's knees ,balanced or rca and it wipes the floor up with these $1.00 special blue transformers in the stock unit .after this mods My unit has beaten several that went for almost $2k,that is impressive and my dac-24
even beat my brothers Ayre setup that is over $7k.Yes it did cost me a few bucks but night and day better in returnfor moneys spent.
My brother and myself are long time Audiophiles not novices
I thought I have seen it all,I guess not, one more thing a lot of the guys on Audiogon that profess to be mod experts ,have no degrees and are parts stuffers I have found out the hard way one actually ruined my cd player last year .I won't mention any names .
