HI FI REVIEW :
BEST BUY
of the
YEAR 1995 |
|
Paul Miller
: |
"Monarchy's
DIP ranks as the most consistent all-round performer and
excellent value at just £245."
".....the 'jitter
buster'of those tested to reduce on-line jitter successfully via
both optical and coaxial links."

Sam Tellig : |
"Everything
improved---clarity, mid-range and treble smoothness, spatial
resolution, focus, bass extension and tightness. Transients were
cleaner, quicker. There was a more natural decay of instruments
in time and space---and not by a small margin. All of the
improvements were so obvious I didn't have to strain to hear
them."

DIP Classic with Upsampler pre-installed $ 250.00
Major Functions:
*44.1KHz(factory default "Classic"
setting) reference clock.
*96KHz( User selectable by internal
jumper) to match 24/96 DAC's.
*two precision clocks built in
(the original clock from the CD
transport is abandoned in favor of the built-in precision clocks)
*Format conversion: Receives Opto or
RCA, Outputs RCA and AES/EBU (balanced)
*Ground isolation(from noise and hum,
etc)
*Precision clocks for higher DAC
decoding accuracy. Hence better sound.
*Signal Boosting (much stronger output
signal ameliorates cable deficiency)
*Signal Conditioning(much
cleaner,jitter reduced output)
  
DIP
Classic with Upsampler pre-installed
Its main
functions:
- Jitter
reduction/signal conditioning
- Signal Boosting(to 6
times higher)
- Ground Isolation(to
avoid noise/hum)
- Format change(from
Opto to RCA, from RCA to Balanced, etc)
- Data Alignment (new
data stream output)
The most dramatic feature is
the Classic’s built-in precision clock.
The original clock retrieved
from the transport is abandoned.
A new reference clock is
introduced to hold the sampling frequency
at a precision
44.1KHz(standard CD format, hence the name "Classic")
This precision clock, at a
strong signal strength, allows any conventional
D/A converter to operate
with far better precision and efficiency, resulting
in higher definition, better
instrument localization, wider and deeper sound
field , and above all, more
involving music enjoyment.
The DIP Classic accepts all
2-channel stereo signals, with sampling frequency
from 32 Khz to 96Khz. The
output will work with ALL D/A converters.
It is guaranteed to
outperform all previous generations of DIP,
except the DIP Upsampler
which has different functions.
DIP Classic Application Note
All Monarchy Audio
products are designed primarily for 2-channel stereo.
the Classic or the Upsampler would not work with AC-3, DTS digital
signals or
surround sound signals.
The previous version of DIP 24/96 worked with some surround sound
signals
but the factory offers no warranty for this effect.
