Hi DeDe
Just to continue Edward's "it depends" answer... I run the output of cMP/cPlay from the Juli@ card via S/PDIF into a Benchmark DAC1. The DAC1 resamples ALL incoming datastreams to 110 KHz (this being the SR that the engineers feel is the sweet-spot of performance for the DAC chip they use). There is no user option to alter this behaviour - it's the internal architecture.
Curiously (or maybe not...) The change in upsampling with cPlay is readily apparent in my system, from no-upsampling, to 2x SR to 4x SR. Although the DAC1 converts it "down" to 110 KHz, I find setting cPlay to output at 192 KHz gives me the most pleasing (and seemingly accurate/ revealing sound).
Other's preference will certainly vary... so the "correct" way would be as Edward says - whatever you like best. Figure that out, and enjoy your music guilt-free !
That's not a Toy... IT'S A TOOL !!
