MP3 and Ripped, here's a question for you guys....

I have a question people out there, real tech people.

Scenario:

If you have MP3 files or Original Ripped files (ex from an XRCD) and I now have a high quality Sound card or Music Server that has a digital out/in example a good quality Coaxial that can be connected to my fancy 10,000 DAC for example,OK!

and my dac has all of it, upsampling and 24/96khz top notch chip for conversion OK.

Will the DAC convert this data files thats on my server like its converting data from a regular disc that I bought from the music store?????????????

All inputs are appreciated, no war just need to be educated

Thanks

Sure it will read everything just fine.
THer is no way for it to reconstitute the discarded 1's and 0's that were lost durring the transition from an uncompressed say WAV file to MP3. If you take an XRCD, CD, or even original DAT tape and store the data as a compressed file you are negating the pros of having a high resolution system.

Good luck!
