Streaming resolution

What’s your favorite streaming resolution?  I find when streaming hi-rez files the best resolution for me is 24/44.1 or 48.  Anything higher like 96 or 192 sounds to sanitary.  It’s almost lifeless.  It doesn’t reveal more for me it’s sounds flat and to precise.  At 48kHz - that is the sweet spot for me.  The music is lively and revealing and this is across genres. Do you have a preference? What are your experiences ?

(just kidding)

Which DDC did you purchase, and which power conditioner did you purchase?

I bought a Gustard u18 DDC and an AudioQuest Powerquest 707, both used.  Nothing terribly scientific.  Lots of research, this forum, a couple of friends with killer systems and what was available on the used market.  For the record, connected to the Gustard is a Lumin U2 Mini-also bought used.

Just because they can be played in more than 2 channels doesn’t mean that they have to

Of course not!  That's why most SADCs include a 2-channel DSD option.

And if you keep treading down that path, why not play your 2-channel stuff in mono laugh
