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

RE: This is why...

One must distinguish the formats that are accepted from the bits and speed that are actually processed. One must further distinguish the accuracy of the processing of those bits, as can be seen to a certain extent by noise and distortion measurements. But mostly, one must listen to see if the result sounds good. It is possible to gain more resolution by paralleling chips and the amount can depend on specifics of how this is done. There are also expensive R2R chips that give about 18 bits of accuracy. There is a USB DAC that takes 24 bits at up to 768 Khz and claims to have 18 bits of resolution. (See link.)
