Sorry, Sir [itzhak1969] forgive me for saying so, but you really don't know what you are talking about in the particular terms laid out in the OP.
The OS-capable DACs I am acquainted with and discussing here, the Jay's Audio DAC and the Denafrips Pontus, will not perform an OS conversion of an incoming digital signal sent from a transport unless that transport sends an OS signal. It's that simple.
If the Jay's DAC and Denafrips Pontus receive a 44.1K signal from the transport, they convert a 44.1K signal into an analogue signal and send that along to the preamp. If they receiv an OS-ed signal, say a 96K one, they convert a 96K signal into an analogue signal and send that along to the preamp. It really is that simple.
Yes, yes, the Jay's Audio and Denafrips OS-capable DACs have the necessary capacity to OS. [A near tautology, that.] But a necessary capacity is not a sufficient condition. They require the assistance of an OS-capable transport.
Now, there may be OS-capable DACs out there that have on-board capacity to OS an incoming 44.1K signal, say, to 96K, convert that to an analogue signal, and send that along to the preamp. I don't know about that. But the DACs under discussion here do not.
Thus my quandary.
