Upsampling DACS: Take the Pepsi Challenge

HAs anyone used 2 of the following 3 relatively inexpensive upsampling DACs: Perpetual technologies, Bel Canto, MSB Link 3 with upsampling upgrade?? I am trying to sort out the details of the new technologies. The Perp Tech can "interpolate", while the others do not. I am under the impression that the "24 bit" part of this new technology has to do with s/n ratios aroung 140 db, which is great, but a little useless considering the other equipment in the system. The sampling freq is the part that has me all aflutter, because it seems to be getting closer to analog quality "infinite sampling" if you will... What do you think? Has anyone compared these dacs?? Thanks, gang.

After reading Carl's recent post in "What the heck is Resolution Audio" I reached the point (that I'm sure all of you have at one point or another) that I have to call a spade a spade so to speak. Carl is full of crap!! At least on the upsampling/oversampling topic he is. He may be even more than that! I noticed he took this topic over to the "What the heck is Resolution Audio" thread and started spouting about things (upsampling) he obviously does not understand. I tried to be gracious on this thread when his hero Jeff Kalt of Resolution audio confirmed to me by e-mail (posted above) that there is NO difference between upsampling and oversampling AND that mfg's were just using the new terminology to draw interest. However, I lost it a little on my recent post on "What the heck is Resolution Audio". Sorry guys (and girls) if you feel I'm polluting the thread with a little anger, but someone has to call him out on this one! Live the good life. Jordan

Jordan, your need to "call me" anything seems to highlight anger issues on your part. It looks like I will be e-mailing Jeff Kalt, and perhaps someone else as well.

And regarding "Deborah", I feel it is he who should apologize, for hiding behind his wife's name, because he's afraids we'll all know his real name. My observatiuons on women need no apology, because they are factual observations. I love them very much, but the two genders are different, and no one need apologize for that.

Carl, what are you talking about? My name is Deborah, and my husbands name is Robert. We are both professional musicans who reside in NY. My husband and I share many of the same viewpoints, and sometimes we even share this audiogon accout, but I assure you, these thoughts are my own. My husband has enjoyed all this very much however, and he especially enjoyed the post from Skohli on 8/3. It had him laughing for days. Chow!

Hi Deborah1; Perhaps you're just humorously playing with words when you end your , but perhaps not. And It's not my intent to be demeaning in this observation: "chow" = food, but "Ciao" (also pronounced "chow") is an Italian? word usually used to express a pleasant Good bye. for goo
