I purchased the Wadia 121 Dac which upsamples to a crazy 1.4MHz.
Before I always felt like the music was being manipulated, it just didn't sound right. Granted there was an increase in some aspect here-or-there but the overall sound just was not coherent.
With the Wadia I never feel like the music is/has been manipulated. The tone and musicality is even throughout the frequency spectrum. Details, depth of soundstage, width, bass slam, speed, its all there in spades. No one aspect calls attention onto itself, so in this regard it does not sound like 'upsampled' music.
For the record I have tried both software and hardware upsampling many times in the past.
