It's a trick - but a good one. And one which pretty much all DACs (except for those off-the-wall NOS jobbies) have been doing since the late 1980s.
If you want the benefit of moving the reconstruction filter out of harm's way, simple oversampling does the trick (and as I said above, happens inside most DACs anyway). I've never understood why people think that "upsampling" (stuffing invented samples in between the actual ones) could achieve anything more, but they swear it sounds better, so there must be something in it - almost certainly psychological. -- cliveb Transporter -> ATC SCM100A ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cliveb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71321 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
