1x Oversampling


Does anyone here use a player or dac that uses a "no digital filter" or "zero over/upsampling" design, like the Audio Note or 47 labs? How would you describe the sound? What do you like or dislike about them?

Are you sure that it's all just due to "zero over/upsampling", and not overall design? Some years ago there was no digital frontends with upsampling available, so they were supposed to sound better just because of that?
Thanks Budrew. If so, the statement "SimAudio Nova in my living room system sounds sterile, bleached and artificial" is generally just a perception of solid state sound of Nova versus the tubed sound? That's good, I still may love my Nova! ;)
However it seems to be a good idea to get a tubed DAC for certain kinds of music...
