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

Jamscience, this was my concern.

I actually had 2 questions, well first of all WAV is fine but I always believed that it is never 100% of the original, even the best quality ripped can never be 100% correct? I understand the that it could sound better since that was my main reason of placing this question (NO MOVING PARTS) on the transport part of things. So with a WAV file, what ever dac I use will do its JOB????????

And with regards to MP3 files, just say a "high quality" file with minimal compression, will my DAC still do its job as WAV file mentioned as lossless?

Please educate and thank you
