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

RE: Dacs with a great bass.

The "quality" of the bass is affected by the input jitter to the DAC and how good the DAC is at rejecting jitter. This is why other posters have commented on the quality of transport making a difference to the bass.

Depending on your transport, you will get the best result by reclocking the input data to your DAC. However, it all depends on your budget as to how far you want to go.

An Apogee Big Ben is reasonably priced and will give you better results than simply changing the DAC. You can use it as a digital hub as well as for format conversion eg Optical to AES/EBU. Put it this way, even if you bought another DAC, you would still get an improvement using such a device between the source and DAC.
