" ...do these discrete/NOS DACs pass high resolution data untouched or do they down sample the incoming data/music to 16/44.1?"
Non-oversampling (NOS) DACs transition the data off the media directly to analog, without any other digital conversion or processing taking place. All the filtering is analog, after the D/A transition takes place.
(Downsampling to 16/44 would degrade the signal, if the native rate off the media is of higher resolution.)![]()
