Steve, thanks much. you've been a tremendous hehlp. My xa777 will likely remain the drive unit. the BC 3 does have my attention. I've heard much about the North Star but from a dealer I spoke with.. he said you need to use them together, drive and DAC both being NorthStar... and he pointed to the I2S... whatever that thing is, as the reason.
Up & Over sampling Is one superior to the other?
I see many contrasting ideas on up sampling, and over sampling. I want to get a DAC quite soon and have gotten the impression from reading reviews, that up sampling is a more forward presentation and can be analytical.... over sampling is more resolving and refined, yet laid back sounding.
Have I the wrong thoughts here? or is therre any truth to those diffs?
Do tubes really make significant diffs over strickly solid state (given all else is resonably the same)?
I thought to try making sure before taking the plunge.
I am most grateful for any help here from those who have had both or either...
