Will upsampling of new DAC make lossy sound as good as Lossless


A question :

 

With most of new DAC’s using their upsampling make a lossy Spotify like file as good as a cd quality .

Most of the DAC’s I see move every file to a very high sampling rate and do a lot of  behind the scene adjustments.

will this “ fill in the blanks “ for lost data and make it good as the original?

Never. Are you crappin’ me?

Once a subtraction is made nothing artificial can ever restore.

nope, not crappin you 

I run a Chord Qutest thru Roon
 

I ran on mp3 files in my library, and then compared it to the streaming version in Qubuz .   I was pretty dumbfounded as to which I liked better

Give it a shot, granted,  I’m an older geezer with probably less than optimal hearing 

In the past , MP3’s sounded like crap to me 

Shrill, edgy digital . Especially,  on old rock 

not now 

I’ve eaten my words,  on audio many times, over the years
