Right. If upsampling is still done in the new version, it does nothing but move the filtering in the DAC to a higher frequency, further away from the music signals. I never actually liked upsampling much apart from the cases where one happened to hit a 'better' working condition for the signal chain with changed or indeed improved sound quality as result. Like the D250 Pro I owned. I preferred to send native sample rate to the amp an let it do the upsampling rather than use the Roon DSP for it. I believe Devialet made real effort to get 192kHz sampling to sound great instead of trying to get all six rates to work well (and fail).
