What input and output would deliver the best sound quality out of the adi2?

I've read earlier on this thread that if you up sample through a computer software things get even better? How is that done so, is it true?

The USB input on almost every DAC is the best, most high resolution possibility. S/PDIF both optical and coax are only specced to 24/192.

No, upsampling is bad. Let the DAC do the job it was designed to do. Keep software out of the way as much as possible.

Actually got a 2nd gen Adi2 dac! Wooohooo! In replacement of my faulty 1st gen.

I feel like my u18t are amazing and super detailed, but I do want a even more detailed and clearer imaging and layering, perhaps I have to go with a full size can for the adi2. What is the highest resolution with most detail and imagining that plays well with the adi2?

RTFM

The specifications are in there.

Ah yes. Reading it again I think you are right.

In which case it is off topic since the ADI-2 DAC is adaptable enough to play well with any headphone on the planet (almost).

I don't think they do very well with Sennheisers. I'm sure there are other headphones they don't do well with either but you can't expect an 800 pound gorilla

I don't think it sounds very good with my Sennheisers but it drives everything else I have very well or extremely well.

You could always get one made; Matt at Forza AudioWorks has made a number of USB cables for me.

How do I find him and how long does it take for him to make one?

Maybe a phone shop in the mall. Or just make a loop and live with it... the idea of ordering a custom USB cable is insane...
