I won't comment on the value of software upsampling, but if you use a player for iTunes, like PureMusic for example, it can upsample they way you want it to I believe. I use PureMusic and it is a great player, but I try to play in native sampling and let the DAC upsample if i am using an upsampling DAC or not if I am using a NOS DAC. I doubt I could hear much difference and unless your computer has extra memory and a fast processor, which mine don't, you are better off taxing the playing computer less.
 
At the risk of sounding like a jerk... There's and old saying that translates as <GIGO> which means "Garbage In Garbage Out." It's not a diss but means that if you have a "lower" quality audio file, there's really no way way to recapture the original quality because you're essentially stuck with what you were handed. This doesn't mean that you can't re-eq and otherwise "filter" the track...

Good luck,

A.
 
Pure Music. Is this a conspiracy to make me break down and buy a Mac? I have found no PC based music player I am happy with.

Oversampling does nothing but make the integrator job easier. But, are there any more advanced processing techniques that can do a better job of guessing with off-line processing?

I am about to start saving all my CD's with EAC and then convert to the flavor of the day. I don't want to do it twice as I have about a thousand to save.
 
What's wrong with FLAC as a storage format? I have about 14000 FLAC files and feel no need for anything else.

Also: JRiver and Foobar, among others, allow up-sampling. Depending on your output device it can make no difference or some difference.
