The Mytek Stereo192-DSD does not sound good when playing 44/16 music. It sounds better when HQPlayer upsamples 44/16 to 88/32, better still when upsampled to 176/32, and better still when upsampled to DSD128. (Upsampled to DSD64 sounds slightly softer than upsampled to 88/32 or 176/32, something that is not quite right. DSD64 or DSD128 playback of pure DSD recordings produces the best sound of all.
Another aspect of the Mytek is that it sounds best when the analog volume control is bypassed. I send its output to my amplifiers (powered monitors) and so I need to use a volume control. I use the digital volume mode that the Mytek provides. The Mytek has many options and features and unfortunately it takes some effort to figure out which ones produce the best sound. For example, I found it necessary to open up the case and add the jumpers so as to reduce the output level by 6 dB.
