[QUOTE="Nikkel, post: 1050094, member: 15784"] Been playing around with up-sampling a bit tonight... leaving Windows sound settings at default as per "device" (24bit 48000Hz on JRiver/SMSL SU-9 default is 32bit 176400Hz) Went through all the different DSD bitrates and battled to distinguish a bit at 1st listening on my speakers but went through the same process with my headphones and found the DSD512 to make a VERY SLIGHT positive difference... Everything just sound a bit more cohesive and tighter. I left all DAC filters at default as the SMSL SU-9 has quite a few of which Tube 1 is my go to... Much to my surprise even Spotify's lossy codec sounded much better at DSD512 but its in the the locally ripped FLAC files and Tidal HiFi tier where it shines just a tad more. All the above was done through JRiver's DSP output menu cos the SMSL SU-9 as default device on Windows doesn't give you any flexibility with bit rate settings other than on Windows sound settings. Its fascinating but I'm still playing around :groovy: [url=https://flic.kr/p/2kH9T1E][IMG]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51005179970_75ab41e2b1_h.jpg[/IMG][/url] [url=https://flic.kr/p/2kH9VKc][IMG]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51005189165_efd593b168_b.jpg[/IMG][/url] [/QUOTE]
