Benchmark recommends playing without upsampling.
In your link, Benchmark says very precisely what I was telling you in endless posts a few weeks go.
Quote:
In some cases, upsampling will improve the output of your D/A converter. The low-pass filters incorporated into the upsampling process will essentially replace the filters in your D/A converter. If the upsampling software has better filters than those built into the D/A, then you may experience an improvement.
In some, but not in their case. They state that they already do the ābest practicesā and quote: āDonāt upsample your audio files if you are using a Benchmark DAC, there is no need to do this twiceā.
I donāt refer to that, though what Benchmark says wonāt be true, IMO, to an upsampling by HQPlayer.
I refer to the discussion where you were arguing that the music is altered if the upsampling is done by the algorithm of the player instead of the algorithm of the DAC.
But if you donāt want to recognize what I say, I wonāt argue any further with you.
Thereās nothing to argue. Both apply an algorithm to the source data. Which one is ābetterā is a question of personal preference.
Thank you.
Finally, you repeat what I was saying to you.
Glad we agree on something.
