I have not used a Monarchy DIP with my PSA DLIII. The DLIII alone is a great DAC and can improve your transport without the DIP. I don't know if the DIP would add or subtract from the DLIII but I recommend you try the DLIII with your S7000 for a while. It is quite likely that it will be enough. The DLIII has excellent jitter reduction and upsamples to 96 or 192. I don't see the need for the DIP, but I could be corrected. By the way, I also have the VSA VR-1 and an REL Q108E sub system and it is really fantastic. Instead of the MF A5 I use a Creek 5350 SE. We probably like the same sound! Good luck.
PS Audio DLlll DAC with Monarchy Dip
Has anyone out there used a PS Audio DLlll Dac with a Monarchy Dip? If so, did you get any type of improvement in sound quality? I'm using an old Sony Dvd S7000 as a transport which I believe to be solid in that regard into the DLlll.. The DLlll has not been burned in at this time but the sound quality is pretty darn good.. I'm not that knowledgeable about the jitter end of the equation so any advise would be helpful... Thanks
