a digital front end that can do both is the best choice imo. i've found some disc's sound good upsampled while others sound better without upsampling. have also found that certain upsampling rates sound best with certain disc's (196/24 vs 172/24 vs 96/24 for example). a player that lets you try/listen in various modes lets *you* decide what sounds best with *your gear*.
i went PS Audio PWD and PWT. lets you play at various upsampling modes as well as native. i'm in digital heaven.
for my system, have found that 70-80% of my music sounds best in native mode. if you forced me to pick a side, would have to say no-upsampling from my experience.
