up-sampling 44.1/16 files to DSD 512 and running to a Singxer SU-1 USB to I2S converter then to the new Gustard ES9028 DAC.
I think inmate 'Mikel' is doing that with HQPlayer and maybe a Lampizator DAC of some kind claiming sonic equivalence to the $40K Trinity R2R Ladder DAC with 16 PCM1704U-K's running in parallel, one per bit?
Maybe not? Just hearsay?
I going to get the Singxer for my main system anyway as the HDMI I2S has dip switches which allow matching to the Audio-GD HEMI I2S input.
The Gustard DAC is less that $1000 and I have a third location which is where a new computer will soon be located so...
Only expense is the Gustard DAC and perhaps more computer power for high rates of up-sampling that would otherwise be needed.
Must be able to do this with an Apple as the wife is being weaned off of Windows because I can no longer answer her Windows related questions.
Might do the Meridian thing while I'm waiting for Singxer to get the firmware update out for DSD 512 support. Not buying now and trying to figure out how to do a firmware update later as with the Audio-GD firmware thing that I missed out on.
Sounds interesting. I do things a little different because I don't like ESS chips. Over detailed. I am also not a fan of DSD. The two major improvements I have made to my Master & is The Singxer USB converter and the Intona Galvanic isolater.

The new ES9028/9038 may well be a completely new animal and, at least in theory, DSD may be a better, easier format to decode anyway, or not.
And Channel Classics have some of the best recordings in their catalog I have yet to hear, so there is that.
Having never heard DSD 256 let alone files up-sampled to DSD 512, who knows?
Not me.
Plus one bad sounding DAC in the house won't kill me, especially at only about $900 delivered.
