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

A question about filters

Hi Mr. Krieger,
i have a question about filters.
It is quite clear to me that digital filters have an impact on sound quality, and maybe often a negative impact.
I read that SACD allows for the use of analog filters.
I know that you are against upsampling ... but could it be that upsampling the cds to sacd format the benefits of using analog filters could be superior to the drawbacks of the upsampling process ?
Just thinking.
I read also that SACDs tend to sound a little flat and undynamic, but quite natural. For me this should be a priority.
I like natural e not synthesized sounds ... natural to me means real.
Many chips these days i guess upsample cds to sacd ... but i am not sure.
Thanks a lot.
Kind regards,
bg
