Yes, these are the magic words. You need a serious computer with tweaks to use HQplayer playing upsampling to DSD256 or DSD512.....but the results, according to those that have listened...is quite outstanding. Please read what Quadman has to say:http://www.head-fi.org/t/780385/gustard-x20-dac/615
If you read a few pages further you will see Quadman got DSD256 upsampling to work in the Gustard giving even better sound.
Basically, he says the upsampled 16/44 sounds better than his $20,000 turntable with $5000 cartridge.....not bad considering the DAC is $1300 and his computer/player and jitter reducers and programs are around $1600.
