Important Upgrade for all MONARCHY AUDIO’s Model 22 D/A converters
 
    This Upgrade applies to ALL Model 22, 22A and 22B converters.

    Upgrade can be performed by user with some soldering experience.

    An extra D/A converter chip is soldered on top of the original one. This doubles the output current to the Current-to-Voltage converter allowing better reconstruction of the analog signal. The end result is more " analog" sound quality from an already excellent D/A converter.

    Approximate u upgrade time is one ho hour.

    Self Upgrade: ($100.-) Factory not responsible for damage to unit. Buy the Upgrade kit from MONARCHY which contains the following:)

    1. Two Burr Brown PCM63P-K Select Grade D/A converter chips. (Only the "K" version can be used to match the original "K" version on the circuit board)
    2. A 30-watt soldering iron
    3. A length of "No Clean" Solder enough for making the 56 solder joints.
    4. Upgrade Instruction Sheet


You may order the Self Upgrade Kit by filling in the blank form enclosed. Then enjoy the best sounding D/A converter money can buy, regardless of cost. The analog smoothness and the digital clarity will be amazing.

Sold the unit already? Contact us and ask for the old timer special on a brand new Model 22C, complete with Piggy Back chips and Volume Control, for less than what you'd have to pay to get a good sounding Line Amp elsewhere. (There is one built into the Model 22C) The Model 22C retails for $1490.- -Discounts applicable to owners/users of previous Model 22 models or other MONARCHY AUDIO products only.
