May not exactly be relevant but I'm using JRiver to convert everything to DSD and output to a Schiit Loki and, honestly, I have no major complaints, though one minor one. If I'm using the PC to browse the web while I'm listening, I occasionally get a click/pop in the music. In these cases it's not like I'm listening critically so I just look past it. When it's showtime though, it really works a treat, $150 entry fee notwithstanding (not counting JRiver license, of course).
Is it really useless Upscaling 16/44.1 music to 24
Is it really useless Upscaling 16/44.1 music to 24/176.4 or 24/192
In the past I asked this question and from the answers I learned that converting any music from 16/44.1 to higher resolution is just adding bunch of zeros in front. But now I started seeing so many DAC’s up-sampling the music to 24/192 or 24/384, which bring up the question again “Is it really add zero in front of 16/44 or did they figure out how to create a broader spectrum in frequency from 44 khz to 384 khz and how many listeners heard the difference in quality of sound by up converting it? “We are not discussing the HD-Track’s music.”
I read the reviews and saw the picture open DACs. I don’t see much in them other than a high rez sound card. Please correct me if I am wrong.
And finally, In JRiver/Foobar we have an option to up sample the music. Questions are
1) Does up converting makes a difference?
2) What is the difference between $500 or $5000 DAC re-sampling the music verses Foobar or JRiver re-sampling?
3) Can JRiver/Foobar do the same job in re-sampling the music as a DAC does?
