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

Re: Upsampling shifts energy to higher frequency ?

Dear Busybusy,
This is what you wrote:
> > Anyway, my feeling was that the upsampling shifts the energy around, so there were more apparent high-frequency content, lot's of air, and the 'chin, chin-ness' was very cool. But underlying it, I felt that the guts and the vocal are less powerful. My over all feeling is that the upsampling seemed to be moving some 'energy' from midrange to the high-range. Then trading off some midrange robustness and power. < <

Now I can tell you that your discovery is inaccurate. You are correct! Since DCS is having coloration, their Upsampler and DAC is shifting the bottom energy upward to higher frequency range. However, if you get a chance, please compare DCS Purcell to Assemblage D2D-1 upsampler, you are not hard to find the difference. Do not judge by the price between 2 units. Upsampler not necessary sound like what you heard, you have to listen to a good one, not the one with problem or outdated; just as everything else out there!!

Good Luck!
Yours,
