Your post raises a corollary question

Your comments about upsampling vs. native resolution intrigued me. I have an Esoteric SACD player, and like several players these days the Esoteric offers multiple sampling/filtering options for RBCD playback to keep tweakers occupied. I played around with these settings right after I bought the machine, but ended up selecting DSD conversion as (seemingly) the best-sounding option for CDs. Are you implying that CDs would sound better using the straight 16/44 setting? I'll have to experiment to see how this plays out in my own system.

If I've misread or misinterpreted your post, my apologies.
