My favorite is to use the max power of 2 upsampling with the precise - minimum phase filter. I'm feeding a Denafrips Terminator with oversampling enabled (NOS off). For standard 44.1Khz source material, this upsamples to 176.4Khz.
Roon Upsampling - DSD vs. PCM
I've been listening to Roon using a variety of upsampling methods. Roon's DSP management is incredibly flexible, allowing you to select any type of input and scale it to any type of output, assuming your DAC and the Roon server has enough CPU to support it.
After reading a couple of recommendations I've tried using the DSD upsampling to feed my Mytek Brooklyn, which accepts DSD via USB 2.0, as well as PCM to PCM.
I have to say after some listening that the PCM to DSD upsampling does not sound great to my ears. It sounds brighter and harder, but not better. The 2x PCM to PCM upsampling however sounds pretty nice. It extends the top octave without sounding worse or strained.
What are your experiences, and what DAC are you feeding?
