Does digital audio contain all the sound of 1st press vinyl ?
It all depends on the quality of your digital system.  I wouldn’t use foobar2000 in my digital system and don’t want my digital system to sound analog. 
Bricasti M1 vs DCS Debussy
The MDx upgrade in my M3 brought the same results you described.  Very worthwhile upgrade.  I swapped out the board myself.  20 minute job. 
Bricasti M3 In the house
I just upgraded my M3 by replacing the digital board with the MDx board.  $720.00 shipped to my home from Bricasti.  A noticeable improvement and a great upgrade if your M3 doesn’t already have it installed when purchased new.A 20 minute board swa...

Review on Bricasti Design M3 DAC
Just purchased the MDx board for my M3 and installed it myself.  Big improvement in soundstage, clarity, and air.Total price was $720.00 shipped.  Swapping out the board was an easy process and took about 20 minutes.  I understand that at some poi...

I emailed Bricasti about what features and functions the MDx upgrade offered, and they replied with what I posted above.My understanding is as of March 2020 all new M3s have the MDx upgrade. The cost of the MDx hardware was $720.00 shipped to me. ...

Bricasti M1 vs new M3
My M3 is a few months old and I’m going to purchase the MDx upgrade to get better performance, better sound, and the ability to play DSD256 files 
Waht is the best streamer for the money under $2500 (no DAC or storage required).
Good choice with the PS Audio. I would have answered your original question by recommending the Bricasti M5. Best streamer under $5K and I have tried a bunch of them! 
If I upsample digital flac 16/44 to hires 24/192 is the sound equal to native 24/192
It all depends on what device or process you are using to upsample your music. 
Review on Bricasti Design M3 DAC
I own the Bricasti M3 with the Ethernet option. Worth getting the Ethernet upgrade, at time of purchase so you don’t have to ship the M3 back for the upgrade. Very sweet sounding DAC.You don’t need to connect it to Ethernet to use SPDIF, AES/EBU, ... 
Cashing In My OPPO Chips
Go with the Auralic G1.  Much better sounding than your Oppo! 
McIntosh Roon Tested, what does it mean?
