The Emotiva XDA-1 does not up convert the input rate, the PS Audio up converts everything (similar to the the Abrahamsen). Neither DAC has the latest in USB input capabilities, so if you want lossless 96 or 192K playback, you would need to use a USB to SDIF converter also. I notice that the Abrahamsen only has USB input, so if you are using the DAC in this manner, I would recommend something beyond any of these DACs - perhaps the W4S Dac2.
