Because those leds are input sample rate indicators.
I was going to bite my tongue & stay out of this but you really are going too far.

The reason I said that it was a generalisation is that it won't apply to all upsampling DACs - I was hoping that you might have picked up on this!

USG, it was just a note of caution & yes it was anecdotal, not scientific - every statement of fact doesn't have to be scientific - it might lead to some conclusions eventually but I was simply reporting my findings. I have since taken it down.
I keep getting this MOT tag thrown back at me over any posting that isn't liked & frankly I'm fed up hearing this. If posters can't differentiate between information that's meant to help them in their audio quest from information that is just marketing then I give up. Judging by this thread & the "sensitive" thread, I don't feel that there is an open-minded attitude displayed here so I'm un-subscribing & will not be giving any information out in future - it has been a thankless & pointless exercise - I wish I could say it has been emotional
In future all my posts will be of a marketing nature - starting with - there is a review due this weekend from enjoythemusic that compares the stock, modified, Evo Hifaces together with the Halide Bridge & Audiophileo. It will be much more in-depth (& informative) than the positive feedback article! Enjoy!

Oooh! Cant wait to read this one.
Sorry, it appears I'm wrong - the article is written & being submitted today but I believe it won't appear until the 1st October
The idea that upsampling a low jitter source will degrade the sound is nonsense.
I think that was PS Audio's reason for placing a bypass switch on their Perfect Wave DAC. (see links in my post)
I prefer "masks the benefits", as you stated in your 'sensitive information' post, "So if you have a well designed upsampling DAC there is just no need for the hi-face as it it will bring no further benefit or increase in SQ."
But what I don't fully understand is why upsampling would "mask" or "bring no further benefit" to a low jitter source.
