I once bought a used Delta because I thought it looked nice and based on Cal's reputation.
I had to use an Audio Alchemy DTI 2.0 with it to get even acceptable performance. The DTI improves bass response, reduces grunge in the midrange (that you will not realize is there until you try it) and adds some smoothness and richness to the sound.
There are very few transports that will not benefit from a jitter reduction device.
Every now and then out of curiousity I unhook one of my DTI's to see if I can live without. This usually lasts for a minute or two and then I put it back.
I have not tried a Monarchy DIP, so I would suggest you try before you buy.
