just got off the phone with ming (the monarchy rep here in soCal). he doesnt have any of the seconds/refurbs left, and they only make the classic and the upsampler now..
i think i am going to pull the trigger on this one. i think it would compliment my mensa di/o. also, i need to have two digital inputs [optical - c2000es; coaxial - ap2496 ('puter media player)] fed into the DAC, so the toggle is a nice bonus (for me)...
the only thing i hear now is shit that i assume is caused by jitter, and this $300 box should give me my answer. it seems to me as kind of the poor man's big ben, but then again, i have the poor man's 901/902, too
i assume i would set it, and the mensa, to 96kHz and let her rip, right..?
