HoloAudio Spring 3 Kitsune DAC NOS

Hey guys, recently bought this and it sounds really good. I have a streamer that can upscale/sample streamed music in PCM and can do Native DSD. The DAC can go to DSD1024. The question is should i just leave what comes out of the streamer original? (some is 44.1 some is up to 192) Or should i upscale 44.1 content to lets say 176 which 4x or 192 which is non-integer. Would I gain anything?

New to the whole upscale/sample business. The DAC i understand has no filters or upscaler on board. Purely NOS. Help me Obi Wan. Thanks guys

In the end it’s what sounds best to you! Nice choice on the dac- I hear they are wonderful.

My streamer will upsample as well but to be honest I have everything set to Native in my system. I prefer to run AES to my dac so everything stays native at or below 24/192. If I want to go true DSD I playback native from my MacBook Pro via usb- I haven’t even bothered with trying to stream DSD.
