Very nicely done. Am I right to include the volume reduction makes the
ASRC/upsampling much less of an issue then?

Yes Darren,
That's what I'm able to demonstrate with the Teac's 24/192 upsampling. A
-3dB attenuation will allow the upsampling to work
Thank you! Would be interesting why SoX does so bad because it is
perfect at downsampling. I also wonder how many devices offered in the
past did really bad upsampling while called high-end audiophile. On the
other side squarewaves are not exactly music so this all is very
theoretical.

Well, actually more an observation about people...
For several years, the DAC1 was generally regarded as some kind of gold
standard for accuracy in DACs. For sure, some people didn't care for its
sonic character (while others loved it), but as far as I recall nobody
ever questioned its

With down-sampling, there is nothing to do in terms of level adjustment.
With up-sampling, you might need level adjustment. But it seems Sox
doesn't do -automatic- level adjustment, hence the

I hope that doesn't happen and I don't see any reason for that to
happen. I think it's a great DAC-pre and I have no plans to replace my

To bad now several people that claimed the DAC1 sounds sterile and
lacking of good sound just link to such results showing clipping.
On the other hand Benchmark marketing deserves a compliment on this
improvement for the DAC2 and giving reason for an upgrade.

The DACs that are not sterile most likely have the same DSP headroom.
I will make it clear in the first post of the PFM thread about the
generic nature of the issue. Ta,

Good points. However there are more similarities with audio than you
think. For example different grapes could be analogous to different
types of amplification, i.e. solid state versus tube, and different vats
