All those crazy europeans believe the DAC sounds better with upsampling on, but that might be influenced by the engineer's opinion (also an european).
All the americans at the meet thought the DAC sounds better slaved to whatever with upsampling/reclocking off.Even the damned passive analog filter isn't designed for 44 KHz.But, honestly and without meant to be offensive, to each his own.Many listeners like tube distortion better than solid state precision, and there's nothing wrong with using a DAC in another way as it was suggested by the engineer.
That's soooo funny. 
Really.
European version runs on 220V, right?
US version runs on 110V, I assume.
Could it be a version difference?
