Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

Re: DA or AD more critical to sound?

Not only the DA and AD section. The analog section is also very critical for sound reproduction. Low-cost players use opamps in this section while high-end equipments use matched transistors with a minimalist design. This means more components more noise.

Zhaolu DAC is one of very well implemented DACs, particularly the DA section. One mod is to replace the analog output stage to make it a top-notch DAC. However, there are a million ways to design an analog section.
