Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

RE:Wiki answer

Yes sometimes writers do let their true feeling slip into an article, other times you kinda have to read between the lines.

I've got a few Dacs, been trying to get some of what I 'think' is the best offerings in different Dac chips/designs. As far as expensive vs less expensive goes I can attest that some less expensive Dacs, namely R2R do indeed deliver the goods. I have a $2500 PCM1704 Dac next to my $600 PCM56P Dac, while they sound different from each other, the $600 Dac has a certain...as the Japanese would say 'Umami', a yummy savory deliciousness.

FWIW, most of the gear I own I bought sight unseen and unheard. It was from reading reviews [between the lines] and what was said, cross referencing reviews and looking at the design etc. After about 6-8 months of this I can be pretty confident in my purchase. For the most part I have gotten what I expected out of components, sometimes gear pass my expectations others 'few' its goes right back on the selling block quick.
