Non-Oversampling (NOS) vs,


I am curious. Is a Non-Oversampling (NOS) DAC sound better than a DAC that upsamples the original signal? Or, in other words, is it better to maintain the “original signal” and not add mathematical calculated extra bits?

I also understand that a DAC’s implementation makes a huge different in the resulting sound quality and so does the analog section. I am just trying to better understand a NOS DAC vs one that upsamples.

I have the same ANK 2.1, just upgraded last year, and I feel lucky every day. Great DAC.

@rodge827 

Send me a note describing your ANK mods- I find the different approaches to these upgrades very interesting!

Have a gustard R26.

Easy to switch back and forth NOS/OS.

prefer NOS.

Just need gustard to get a bit better at docs and customer service.
