the dcs purcell upsampler is the product that started all the upsampling trend, although those who do not believe in these products liken the piece to oversamplers, they do increase the wordlength as well as the sampling frequency, it all becomes "technobabble" until you hear it. Then I think you will be a believer. Go audition one and see for yourself, take along both a great recording and a less than stellar recording that still gets your toes tapping. We look forward to your findings after you audition one. Personally, I will be getting one soon.
Dither,wordlength,jitter?
I use very high quality CD transport with ultra low jitter and 24 bit DAC.Do units that offer resolution enhancement by increasing word length on the output and dithering options really work? I guess the most confusing part for me to grasp is this.Do all transports output a 16 bit word length? and how does the 24 bit dac resolution fit into the equation.Do you need to send a dac an increased word length for best results And lastly do single box players already include resolution enhancement circuitry.Thanks in advance for any enlightenment...
