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

RE: Exactly

Why would you assume other components "create" soundstage...particularly as it varies from recording to recording and SOUNDS like a different space with the best gear that preserve this information?

If the soundstage being perceived was always the same then one could argue that it is manufactured (like turning on the reverb dial in the studio). But the best gear preserves a different soundstage and venue with each recording, from a very dry and up front studio recording...or one where it is obvious that soundstage information was added in the mixing process to large natural indoor spaces like a large church.

A DAC where the soundstage is notably truncated compared to others is either taking something away or adding something that affects depth perception both of the stage depth and image dimensionality (rather than images sounding flat).
