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

I believe there is something wrong with upsampling. It's too complicated. Any benefit achievable through upsampling in a DAC can be more efficiently and effectively implemented with I2S connection, oversampling and dither. And these avoid the questionable algorithms required for non-integer conversion.

If upsampling were done in multiples of 44.1, I'd be far less skeptical of their reasoning. Why convert to 96 instead of 88.2 kHz, or 192 instead of 176.4 kHz? The only reason that makes sense to me is that they are trying to capitalize on the popularity of the true higher sampling rate mediums, DVD and DVD-A.
