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

RE: Oversampling vs. Upsampling: Marketing Speak

The big advantage with the NOS DAC is that you can use it with software (over/up) sampling which can significantly reduce the aliasing and high frequency drop, BUT bypasses the compromised filter implementations built into the DAC chips.

Unfortunately there are a lot of 16 bit NOS DACs out there which don't take as much advantage of the software upsampling as a higher bit NOS DAC does. NOS DACs which can do 20 bits or more have a big advantage here (the Metrum Octave, some of the Audio GD models etc.)
