1: This DIP Classic is the best performing DIP for playing
conventional
CD's..
It also accepts 24/96 DVD digital audio and
outputs a signal that is compatible with most conventional or
new generation D/A converters, with decoding
capability
from 16 to 24 bits,
and outputs a precision 44.1KHz clock for all
conventional
DAC's.
Connect as follows:
DVD or CD Transport -------- DIP Classic -------- D/A converter (any version)
2: Use the Selector Switch to select either Opto or Co-axial(RCA) input.
3: Your DVD transport may output various signal formats(CD,
DVD,
etc)
If a new signal is fed into the DIP,
sometimes it might be necessary to unplug
and plug back the AC input to the
DIP box. This resets the entire operation.
4: The digital signals are decoded and processed, and any
jitter
is suppressed through the DIP.
Its four major functions are:
a) Signal Conditioning
b) Signal Boosting
c) Signal Isolation (from In to Output)
d) Format Change(from Opto to RCA, from RCA to Balanced,
etc).
5: The DIP Classic makes most D/A converter compatible with
most
DVD players.
It outputs a fixed sampling rate of 44.1KHz
which is more precise than the
clock from the transport.
6: The DIP Classic is user upgradeable to 96KHz. An Upgrade
kit
is available
factory direct at $25.- (parts and
shipping/handling).
Upgrade time: 5 minutes.
7: We recommend using a very short co-axial cable linking your
transport to the DIP.
By virtue of the much stronger signal
output, the DIP will drive 75 Ohm cables up to
100 ft., although for best signal integrity
we recommend that the cable be no longer
than a few feet, and the MONARCHY DR-1
or DR-2 digital cable is highly
recommended for the ultimate in sound
quality, due to the use of a solid core Teflon.
MONARCHY AUDIO also offers a very
cost effective AV-1 cable.
8: If your transport has an Opto output only, we strongly
recommend
you connect the
DIP to this source, but use the 75 Ohm
RCA or the Balanced format to re-transmit
the signal to your D/A converter. If your
D/A accepts Balanced Input, use Monarchy's
DAB-1 XLR Cable to feed the signal to the
DAC. This is preferred over RCA.
9: The ground terminals of the DIP's output is totally
isolated
from the ground
terminal of the DIP chassis. This output
signal is coupled through a triple-shielded
transformer (a Faraday shield, a ferrite
shield and a stainless steel shield) for
maximum isolation. Most hum and ground noise
is thus isolated.
