Anyone using a Blu-Ray player as a transport?


I thinking of getting a Blu-Ray player and using it as a transport. I think that the upsampling aspect of the player will be very good on redbook Cd's. Is this assumption correct?

Sidssp is correct.

Of the five or so DACs I've owned, I preferred the non-oversampling DACs because they sounded fuller, more natural and conveyed a larger sense of scale than the over-samplers. While upsampling resulted in more audible detail they sounded phoney to me. All except the tube DAC. Mind you, these were not expensive DACs either, and you may come away with an entirely different viewpoint.

In my line of work, it's kind of like a Photoshop file where someone went bonkers with the unsharpen mask. There's more detail, but it doesn't necessarily make for a better image.
