Off course they are looking for better sound reproduction. So far most people still prefer CD on CD quality CD Player. Good upsampling could produce good sound, but not always bigger number is better. Actually it depends on the technology used and the result may vary. Most internal DAC will do the upsampling but at the end, you only listen the music (analog). No digital output provided at this upsampling number since it happens inside those microchip. If you use the digital out, most likely your CD Player will act as transport only (will disable the digital-to-analog function or the resampling feature). Thanks. Hi,

For audiophile, which format will reproduce a more natural high quality sound ? SACD on SACD Player or CD on Quality CD Player ? How about " upsampling " like Cambridge Audio CD 740 upsampling to 24/384 Player ? After upsampling, is the data represent the actual sound or they just use a formulation all add more date on the audio track ? ha...ha.... All these marketing peoples make us very confused. Best Regards, William. Dear Brother Jimmy,
