Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

The dacs resolution and wordlength are source dependent. The 24/96 Dacs can play normal cds, but you will NEVER get performance like that of a 24/96 source (such as DVD-A or high bitrate sound from DVD-V). Some offer upsampling as an option, but it is not nearly as good as true 24/96. Upsampling tries to use higher resolution than is possible from standard 16/44.1 , and many feel it is a better way to process the signal, but it will never ever ever be 24/96, just an approximation thereof. Hope this helps.
