Interesting observations, that absolutely mirror my experiences with DACs.
Having had a few DACs that employed "Oversampling" I came to the conclusion that I just could'nt get beyond what sounded to me like a "macro" effect to whatever music I played.
To me it sounded like massed instruments were playing in a more "reverberant" soundstage
imore like a "macro" effect that seemed to lessen the spatial relatiionships between instrument sections by adding more "air" to the entire soundstage.
Long story, short; I just did'nt feel Oversampling on a "Hardware" level worked for me. Surprisingly though, upsampling the music I listen to through my Metrum Hex NOS DAC
has been sounding like the "Bee's Knees" lately. Though I rip my music to 16/44.1(w dBPa)
I listen to it at 24/176.4. I will admit that these files eat up a lot of storage "real estate". (24/176.4 sounds more detailed than 24/88.2 so I gladly give up the storage space)
