Thanks, Ivan. I'm going to do the obvious and run it in both modes for some time and see if I develope a preference. The dac itself is a huge upgrade from the Yamaha sacd I was using(and am still as a transport). Probably my best craigslist find and great timing. My neighbors on both sides of my townhome are gone for the weekend and I've been enjoying the new life it has brought to my huge CD collection and my cheap Jamo e855 speakers(my next upgrade). I just guess I expected something akin to standard def tv to HD or something.
should I notice the upsampling?
Pretty new to higher fi than big box store(i worked at soundtrabck, here in Colorado 14 years ago.) Last week I bought a NAD C370 amp on craigslist, and today I bought a musical fidelity tri-vista dac. I tried the upconversion button on the rear of the unit and I don't notice a difference. What should I hear? Also, the feet on mine don't light up, but all the lights on the front panel do. Anyone had the problem and know the fix? Thanks
