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

RE: About depth of field with digital

Hi and thanks a lot for the very interesting suggestion
I read the review on TAS ... a very interesting unit indeed.
I am not an expert but i guess that inside a dac some kind of processing goes on and that is the point.
Some dacs perform this processing in a way that is less detrimental for sound.
For instance digital filterless dacs are said to sound much more musical.
I think that digital filters can make or break the sound.
Like i think that delta-sigma dac chip can be perfectly fine, like the unit you mention clearly shows.
I read also another thing but i am not sure i have understood rightly.
Upsampling redbook to dsd should allow for the use of analog filters, much less detrimental for the sound.
What i find really strange is that digital filters are not so popular in the discussions on digital sources.
Much less than dac chip, power supplies, output stages.
When i see what normal digital filters do to the signal i am surprised.
Things like the pre-ringing ... a signal popping up before the actual signal ??? is that a "sonic premonition" ?
how could that be acceptable ? how could people live with that ?
Thanks a lot again.
Kind regards,
