I cannot tell you how many posts I've seen in which the person is looking for a DAC with a certain chip or a speaker with a first-order crossover, or a diamond tweeter or whatever. IMO, it all doesn't mean a damn thing. It's how the product works as a whole that counts. But then again, I truly believe that many audiophiles have no idea of what they're listening to anyway and just make purchase decisions based on reviews or pictures or whatever. Of course, it's their money and their choices, so everyone is entitled to enjoy this hobby in their own way. I just think that many audiophiles would be happier with their systems if they just listened more and read less.
Would someone explain what "up sampling" means and how it can affect the sound?
Hello.
I am looking at buying a DAC and after reading a few articles, there seems to be a question that comes to mind: what is up sampling, and does it affect the sound ? Some audio companies have up sampling in their DAC and some do not.
I just want to make an educated decision about what DAC I purchase that, hopefully, will not be obsolete in a few years.
Thank you for all your comments and answers.
