[QUOTE="reactor_sa, post: 675910, member: 14680"] I'm not sure if the up sample works outside of audiogate. Irrespective of the rate I set in the driver config, if I play a 44.1 flac file in windows media player it uses less than 6% CPU, if I play the same in audiogate it uses about 20% for the same file. It's a bit confusing. With audiogate, up sampling a flac file to DSD levels sounds like it smooths everything, I can't decide of this makes things sound less accurate because it could be less sharp. After about a hour it sounded suddenly better than when I first connected it. It's a great DAC for the price, but by no means the most detailed DAC I've heard, miles better than the crap that a laptop ships with though and it's not a fatiguing sound either. Perfect for listening at the office while working. [/QUOTE]
