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

Benchmark DAC1 has AD1896, and Cambridge DacMagic Plus has Anagram upsampler

Benchmark DAC2 has SRC4392 and Sabre DAC. Benchmark DAC1 used AD1896 SRC and AD1853 DAC.

I was less sure about the Cambridge, but a little Googling revealed that the original DacMagic and DacMagic Plus have an Anagram Technologies sample rate converter (ATF in the original and ATF2 in the Plus).

Pass-band ripple spec on the AD1896 is +/- 0.016 dB, but the ripple pattern looks pretty conventional, typical of an elliptic filter, not like the one you posted earlier. See the pass-band ripple plot (TPC35) on page 13 of the data sheet. Link below.
