I am using HQPlayer to transcode (upscale) the files to DSD128. HQPlayer has the best delta-sigma modulators on the planet and they far exceed any upsampling in any silicon chip. Most modern DAC chips do have resampler/upsampling modulators built in to them and can perform that task. However, none of them come close to the performance you can attain with a powerful desktop computer running HQPlayer, or provide all the choices for modulators.
If your DAC has the capability, you can set it up to upscale everything to DSD without software, usually with some sort of button on the front of the DAC. Again, most modern chips and DAC implementation allow for this. But there are compromises because of compute power on the DAC chip and software scaling is always preferable.
