24/96 Upsampling

I've got a SFD2 Mark II, a very good class A type DAC. SF tells me that they will have a 24/96 upgrade for this DAC out this summer. They also have a D2D-1 stand alone box for $600. Anyone experienced the difference in a good DACs performance using one of these new upsampling digital to digital boxes?

Hi Kies & Carl; I don't believe the Muse model 296 is an upsampling DAC, although I do think it uses over sampling technology, (but I don't exactly know the difference between over sampling and up-sampling). I've looked into this a bit as I have a Muse Model Two DAC and am considering upgrade to the 296.

...Thankyou Kevin Halverson of Muse Electronics. I will be looking forward to your cyber article re: clearing up the confusion about over sampling, up-sampling etc. To Audiogon members intersested in digital (music): Kevin H. is one of the top digital designers in the country, and I highly recommend checking out his up-coming post regarding this subject.

Hi 1953; Thanks for the very interesting upsampling report. It's not clear to me whether you have the Parts Connection DAC 3.0 or the Sonic Frontiers Processor 3-- would you please clarify that? Thanks, Craig
