@philtangerine - Thanks for your post. It is very informative. I actually prefer the option of non-upsampling if a DAC upsamples, and if this one doesn't, that's fine with me.
I am still curious to hear what users think of this DAC's non-USB performance at Red Book and higher resolutions. Especially curious how this might stack up against the internal DAC on the Bluesound Node 2 (for $100 more you get a streamer).
