If it looks or sounds better then

IMO the pleasures are not dubious. Similarly, if something looks or sounds worse then IMO the shortfalls are not dubious. Only if one cannot discern whether something looks or sounds better is anything dubious.

The good thing about cPlay, as I understand it, is that upsampling is an option that can be bypassed. You may find that your DAC has better playback at 24/96 than 16/44.1 or 24/192. You may also find that software upsampling is superior to hardware upsampling and perhaps you prefer software upsampling with a NOS DAC or no resampling with a NOS DAC. On the other hand do you really want to resample in both software and hardware and does it sound better?

It always seems to come back to implementation is everything.
