Re: You Made My Point!!!!

No Todd, I didn't make your point for you despite your trumpeting otherwise (very Clark Johnsen of you BTW).

DCS may not understand exactly HOW upsampling is affecting the sound but they do know WHAT they are doing to the digital signal and it is clear that they ARE doing something to the digital signal. Can't you see the difference here to the brilliant pebbles? Clearly manipulating the signal will result in sonic differences but that is not at all clear with the brilliant pebbles.

It is not a "black hole" in the sense that they know exactly what they are doing with the digital signal, do they not? The sonic consequences are another issue.

The pebbles are a black hole in terms of efficacy and function.

The brilliant pebbles have no known mechanism and indeed it is not clear that there is ANY mechanism other than sound simply bouncing off of them, in which case any old rocks will do. You are right though, doing nothing is less damaging than do something that may be actively unpleasant.
