First the Vivaldi DAC. IMHO, this converter has made all others irrelevant. If your source material and the rest of your system are up to the task, it will give you live music in your room. I can't offer any more words that do it justice.
Now for up sampling. I've tried my system briefly without an upsampler this weekend - direct USB input to the Vivaldi from my Mac Mini. The astounding clarity and vanishing noise floor are still there but I felt the sound stage was not as expansive as when I was sending the DAC 24/192 from my Paganini upsampler. I would miss the upsampler. Without it however, the Vivaldi DAC still sets a new standard for digital.
