Well all the "data" is processed in the computer. You are actual sending less not more. And most computers today (64 bit, quad-core, 16gb ram) can easily handle all of it plus more at the same time vs the most modern DAC chips. Plus the computer and the software can be easily updated vs the DAC chip inside the DAC. And why add more and hard to do tasks for the DAC Chip to perform.
And the speed of the USB connections in the most current DACs can easily handle the flow.
I am not saying you have to up-sample etc, just that if you wanted to that to do it in the computer is IMHO the better way.
So by your statement all the data is being sent to the DAC because the DAC IS up-sampling all the time. Now maybe there is a small computer in the Vega. But why would I want a small under powered computer that is noisy inside my DAC. If the Vega gave me a choice to up-sample or to not then maybe I would consider it. Assuming there is no internal computer in it.
And yes I realize that all/most DACs have a sort of computer in them. Just not the type I mean.
