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

RE: IF you want a DAC to play normal "redbook" cds then you shouldn't buy the latest and greatest...

You make an interesting point but your reasoning is flawed.

First, this IS a Redbook world, whatever the hype..anyone who argues otherwise is full of it. Second, there are many ways to skin a cat. I have found that some DACs that upsample IMPROVE the sound. It is not all black an white.

Secondly, while the DAC chip is important, it is NOT as important as you claim against the over design and output stage. Your view is way to orthodox.

Lastly, you are not suggesting that folks use a SEPARATE DAC for their Redbook and higher resolution files???

And what if down the road one DOES find higher resolution attractive..why be boxed in?
