Upsampling, Can there be too much?

@vonhelmholtz 

😂 Funny you mentioned the Everest, was thinking about upgrading my IsoTek Sigma to the Everest this week.

@brandonhifi 

Shunyata might be the best way to go and I spent more on the NR power cables than the Everest, but this was the biggest upgrade in sound that I’ve made so far. If you are a dealer ignore this next part, but they had a large price increase a month or so back..so look for old stock.

I have no problem with Aurender N30 upsampling with Mscaler.

It seems that Macaler get less burden.

It help to have linear power supply with Mscaler in additionn to Dave.

Funny?

USB  connection requires a constant handshake. Reboot, restart or repower do not ALWAYS work. Close to last resort physically r & r'd the output cable.

Voila 

Funny not!

The physical transport is in everyway more detailed, tonally more rich and fuller and deeper sounding. I can't say instrument separation is better because the W20SE is masterful at that also. But after correcting the loose cable issue, like finding a needle in a haystack in my rig, The Jay's Audio CDT3-MK3 is nothing less than magical. Everything I play through it, if well recorded, because it is perfectly revealing, but if well recorded, is jaw dropping. Sometimes this last week I'll just sit in my listening chair and grin ear to ear because never in my life have I heard anything that good even in all my high end hi fi shops in Minneapolis, USA.

Those “physical media “ silver disc can sound genuinely stunning with a high quality CD transport. You have that and a top notch streamer. Congratulations!
