Placebo or not, enjoyment is enjoyment. > Sounds like an honest post to me and i know what you mean :) Depending on the setting using a 25% phase response with sox i found it already changing frequencys from 16khz on my impulse samples. So that may play a role here. One completely different thing is to wonder why Upsampling should be done at all. Indeed some Asynchronous Sampling Rate Convertion that happens in the DAC may have a positive effect on errors that crept in due to jitter on its way into the device. Benchmark Media seems to do well there. With our Transporter that doesn´t happen! We upsample on the Server and send the data on its way. The Transporter just gets more data. I don´t know how it works for the Touch but i doubt it has enough processing power to do good upsampling inside the device.
