• A combination of the award-winning Model 22B 20-bit D/A Converter and Monarchy’s prestigious Model 10A Line Amp into a single cost-effective package.
• Super Heavy gauge (0.09 inch) all aluminum chassis.
• Accepts opto. RCA coaxial or XLR balanced digital inputs.
• Proprietary VARI-LOCK circuitry opens wide a “digital window” to capture the incoming signal then the PLL (Phase Lock Loop) narrows down to ignore jitter around the signal source (the “digital windows” closes), resulting in the best sound quality through this decoding technology.
• Top K-Grade Burr-Brown 20-bit D/A converter outputs to a super high-speed current-to-voltage converter (2500 v/µS Slew Rate) outperforming the best analog LP.
• Phase Coherent GIC filter that passes the audio signal through a straight wire.
• 30-step audiophile grade volume control.
• LINE AMP accepts two external signal sources: provides 14 or 20 dB of gain (user selectable)
• Pure Class A Line Amp outputs 150 mA (capable of driving cables up to 1000ft. or any dynamic headphones).

Line Amp uses Monarchy’s exclusive Buffer-with-Gain Technology simple, elegant and virtually distortion free.

B for Balanced Digital input that complies with AES/EBU standards, considered by the industry as the Best in digital audio interconnect.

B for better dynamics as a result of 3 years of development and production of D/A converters that have won rave reviews. (see excerpts in the M22A brochure and call or Fax us for a complete set of reviews)

B for bass extension that must be heard to be believed. A dramatic improvement over the previous models.

B for beautiful execution of a proven technology. (Take a look at the PCB that has gone through several revisions to arrive at the refinement of the Model 22B.)

If you like our Model 22A, you will love our Model 22B.
