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

Realtek is the weakness

If I understood your post correctly, you connected the Sony to your computer using the computer's built-in Realtek audio. Well, Realtek pretty much bites the big one (sucks) for sound quality.

I noted this in my review of the Berkeley Alpha DAC Serice 2, where the Realtek output sounded so disappointing that it made a proper evaluation of the Berkeley DAC difficult.

My music computer has an Intel motherboard and 2nd generation low power i3 CPU, and uses JRiver Media Center.

Happy listening.
