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

RE: someone would have created a business to do that already.

It's funny that I have dealt with a fair number of onboard computer sound chips - since I have assembled myself desktops that we had and listen on all the laptops etc - funny how they vary in sound a great deal and it seems to me the older motherboards tended to have better chips for this. Now they might offer 5.1 output but the quality is worse than ever - I mean onboard chips. I have one old unit from around year 2000 that sounds the best!

I would like to have the chance to listen to a file resolution comparison through a consistent high quality system - and even listen beyond CD res. I think low res files have certain "markers" of bad quality - like you say - but also just a certain "thinness" to the aural picture often noticeable in a high end that sound shrill and peaky - like in the reproduction of cymbals in particular

But then on the other side, some of the modern music is so dynamically compressed to begin with - and very few "real" acoustic instruments to measure it up. You play it on a high end rig and you think "what's the point?" there's nothing there to bring out!
