Isn't everything from Burmester done in chrome?

Thoughts on up-sampling
Thanks for all your kind comments on my post. Forgot to mention,
I use 4x for 44.1 k and 48 k originals. Sounds best that way on my Yggdrasil. I am using native for the ‘high res’ content I have. Still experimenting. Tom

I decided I prefer up-sampling from the Lumin and setting the K01x up-sampling and pcm filter to off. This works well with the 585's DAC which has no settings for up--sampling.

upsampled to DSD or PCM?

I have to use PCM because the 585's DAC does not accept DSD from the Lumin. I find it irritating that Levinson is not developing drivers that will work with Lumin. That said it sounds quite good with PCM!!!!
The K01x will play both formats.

Reviving an old thread. I just got a demo unit Vivaldi + upsampler and was playing with all the settings. I left my black special edition k-01x plugged in so I could compare the improvements. The k-01x is great, but at 3x the retail price the Vivaldi duo should show some improvements. Well, it does, mostly in the vocals being cleaner and more realistic (relatively, both are good). So I decided to mess with some upsampling settings and even fed the esoteric with the dcs upsampler instead of the on-board upsampling. That got things a little closer, but by coax the max coming in was 192 or DSDx1. Then I remembered the Roon nucleus can upsample to 384 to my opticalRendu and see what happens. Long story short things got again a little closer. Hardware upsampling left at 4x and Filter was spldy2, then I set the filter to off which I liked better for unrolled off highs (I think). I’m not sure if I ever did an a/b with Roon up sampling before but if I did maybe I thought esoteric’s alone was fuller and kept with it? Or the filter off with my older cables was harsher? In any case, I thought I had reached the limits of the esoteric. Try Roon up sampling and then hardware upsampling combos, you might be surprised.

That's the way I understand it also. I let my streamer upsample everything to 4Fs. It sounds really better.
