Has anyone any comments on likely sound quality compared to a
standalone CD player?
I'm thinking along the lines of feeding digital audio from a PC
soundcard via optical link to a standalone Musical Fidelity DAC, then
to amp and speakers.


Most likely you will be playing pack at 48kHz then, so *better* than CD
quality, all other things allowing...


But most source material is 41k, so doesn't upsampling to 48 hurt the
sound?
