Assuming we're talking about the DIP Upsampler (the only thing Audio Advisor carries), yes you will be very surprised. I tried a DIP Upsampler only to find out that if the SB3 digital output drops for any reason (like a glitch in the wireless network), instead of muting, the DIP outputs digital noise at full volume. In my case it nearly destroyed my speakers. According to the designer (M Poon), it was "working as designed". Also, it compared poorly sonically to my Apogee Big Ben as a jitter-reducing device. Instead, for $100 more, I got a GW Labs DSP Upsampler. This is an up-scale version of the Monarchy, licensed from and IAFAIK, designed by Monarchy. I'm very happy with it - it mutes properly and is sonically competitive with the Big Ben in jitter reduction.
