What's your DAC's sweet spot for sampling rates?


Listening to a lot of random music on Qobuz I notice my now aging Mytek Brooklyn performs best with 96kHz /24 upsampled via Roon to 192 kHz/32.

What DAC are you using and what is the sweet spot you've found? And how old is it?

@roxy54  and @charles1dad -

 

But a lot of players can avoid upsampling (not oversampling) and still not sound as good.  Isn't at least half of the sound quality from the parts used??

PS - Upsampling and Oversampling are different.  First converts the data using some form of extrapolating (filling in between the data) while upsampling repeats the same sample multiple times.  The first requires math, the last requires counting.
