As for the upsampling features, I felt that it is not as clean as bit perfect. I prefer the upsampling is turned off. I don’t have the correct equipment to measure it. But from what I understand is it like video resolution, when you play 480p video on 1080p display, it will upscale to 1080p with the help of your GPU (upsampling). If use older or cheaper GPU, it will look washed out. If you use latest and more powerful GPU, the upscale will looks nice. For E1 upsampling it supposed to make the sound better, but it’s doesn’t seem to do job well or am I missing something here?
Second, I've never felt that there's a need for upsampling. All it does is simply pad 0s from a 44khz/16bit file into whatever it is being upsampled to, which in my experience has created clipping. It's the same thing when you set a sample rate in Windows.
So no, it doesn't make your music sound better.
Also, on a side note... your analogy on old GPU upscaling worse vs new GPU upscalling better isn't a good example I think.
