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

RE: BB PCM1704 and PCM1702...nuff said. (nt)

I'm a bit confused as to why the ability to decode 24/192 would automatically make a chip superior to the one that cannot??

Here's what I do know...my ears hear a difference. I also know that many folks are buying up these older cd players and DACs and having upgrades performed - and are very happy with the results relative to what they would receive if purchasing a new player or DAC.

My discipline is Mechanical, so I'm not going to claim to be an expert, but I do listen to alot of music, and I've been in this hobby since 1974. I've also been fortunate enough to have the financial resources to purchase a silly amount of gear - so that's my perspective.

And if I'm not mistaken, the manufacture of these multi-bit DACs is very expensive vs the delta sigma - no?
