I spent a while trying to discover the difference between "upsampling" and "oversampling" in some other thread (possibly here, or maybe on another forum). As far as I can make out, the two techniques achieve the same thing (allowing the post-DAC anti-imaging filtering to move higher up the frequency spectrum, and therefore out of harm's way).
The point is, apart from the fringe NOS brigade, is it even possible to buy a non-oversampling DAC these days? Surely the DAC inside the TP is an oversampler? In which case, what additional benefit could one expect to gain from upsampling as well? -- cliveb Performers -> dozens of mixers and effects -> clipped/hypercompressed mastering -> you think a few extra ps of jitter matters? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cliveb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32940 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
