Could Monarchy DIP Combo improve my Logitech Touch

Bombaywalla, Thanks for the info and the help.
I have considered trying an upgraded power supply but did'nt because I have the Squeezebox Touch's walwart power supply plugged into my Synergistic Powercell 10SE.

By the way, the 24/96 unit has been discontinued. Only the 48/96 upsampler/jitter reducer and the new Combo units are available.

I own the Touch and I just recieved on trial a Monarchy 48/96 upsampler DIP to see if the Touch digital output can be further improved.
I thought about the combo but I cant see what advantage the combo would bring if my Dac can process a 24 bit 96 khz signal.

Not sure if these units need some break in time, but most electronics do, so I will report back in about a week.

Well, I have now had the Squeezebox Touch playing through the Monarchy 48/96 Dip and then through my Cary 306 Pro Dac (24/96) for about 2 weeks .

The first few days I was convinced that the Monarchy unit was actually inferior to just running the Touch digital directly into my Cary Dac. I even called Monarchy asking if the unit requires some break in time. CC Poon said NO it is all digital "no breakin in time required".

Well, in my opinion it does need some break in. I let it play 24 hours a day for about 5 days playing a Purist Audio break in disc.

Now after 2 weeks I can say that the unit sounds much better. But I am not sure if it is still much of an improvement over just running the digital out from the Touch to my Dac.

Sometimes, I think there is a difference in the bass and soundstage presentation, but after switching back to the Touch direct to my Dac there was no loss of any improvements.

So, perhaps there needs to be more break in time, perhaps the Touch digital signal is so good that the Monarchy Dip is not necessary.
I will give it a few more days.

Anyone else have any thoughts or suggestions?

I will add that I am using a Morrow Dig4 cable to my Dac and Illuminati D60 from the Touch to the Monarchy Dip.
