Perpetual Tech. upsampler does it work?

I tried my friend's P-3A but thought it was rather bright and lacking in midrange. I didn't like the upsampler. I bought the MSB Gold Link DAC III instead and for my own personal taste, I like it much better with or without the MSB upsampler section enabled. I'm glad I trusted my own ears instead of some magazine reviewer's.

you should be able to demo it free from the factory for 30 days....i took an xtra 30 to listen (p1p3&powersupply)...sent it back and went with birdland dac only. upsampling did not do that much for me. there is a cd enhance feature....it was very good...even better hooked to the birdland.

good luck....

I had the P1A/P3A/P3 Power Supply and the Mystic I2S cable for about 2 months so my conclusion may not be that conclusive -- the Combo does yield more "detail" or "airiness" for some mysterious reason but it loses some of the transient in low-to-mid bass area. Overall, it does change the sound quite a bit but whether anyone likes the changes is a simple matter of personal taste. I personally felt the "upsampled" sound sounds a bit polite and loses some of the warmth but someone else may find the system more spacious.
