Up sample or non upsampling which is superior


After 14 years of very good sound from my TimbreTT1-DAC I`m curious regarding the latest digital players available. A major distinction is to use upsampling vs the non up sampling design. There seem to be good examples of both camps. My objective is to obtain the most natural and pure reproduction of acoustic jazz and vocals with as little electronic artifact as is possible. Have any of you fellow audiogoners found one design better for this goal?

Hi Levy03
My gut inclination is toward native and non filtering playback as I like my components simple and straight forward. I use300b SET amps and a directly heated tube pre amp, however I`ll keep an open mind and decide only on the sonics. For example the Vitus cd player upsa mples at 384!! yet it is considered to have a natural analogue sound without any digititis. I have read and heard very good things about your PS Audio components, thanks for your feedback.
