Some are saying that upsampling to double, quad and 8 times DSD via HQplayer (apparently the best sounding upsampling software) and a compatible great DAC will give sound that is better than most any other way of listening to PCM. Even the big DCS Vivaldi system (over $100K) is suppose to sound best using DSD upsampling. If you look, you will see this is the coming thing. If this is the revolution then we would not even need a DAC that would decode PCM at all. All it would have to do is decode upsampled DSD. Meitner's new DAC upsamples all formats internally to 16 times DSD! Of course, it is a mere $25K....however, there are much cheaper ways to scale the mountain of DSD upsampling.
