When feeding a DAC Hi-Res files, DSD128, 256, 512, PCM 32/768, etc are NOS DACs prefered?


If you are planning on collecting and feeding a DAC higher Res files, is there any preference for NOS DACs vs those that always oversample to higher rates?(assuming the DAC can handle files with those higher rates) Why oversample files that are already Hi-Res? Or at the very least a DAC that allows both NOS and OS.

Thanks......

“Why oversample files that are already Hi-Res?”

Some folks get a kick out of it…nothing else sound as natural as original resolution. Instead of over sampling, focus on getting the best version out there, regardless of its resolution. I have 16bit/44.1kHz files that sounds absolutely sublime.
