My $50 sound improvement

[Music4Life]

I bought a used Behringer Ultramatch Pro SRC2496 to integrate it to my system's chain:

Sony S7000 (transport) -> SRC2496 (upsampling) -> LITE DAC AM Supreme EX edition -> Preamp -> Parasound A21 -> ATC SCM7 II.

I can say, that is the most significant and noticeable $50 upgrade that I made in my system. I changed cables (spkr, rca, xlr, coax) in the past to get somehow a little upgrade and those are like 5X or more. But no audible upgrade I can fully back up.

NOT ON THIS ONE! If your set up is similar to mine, this "additional gear" will bring your whole system to a higher level.

I forgot the most important thing! Thanks David.

My musical fidelity a324 dac does the upsampling itself so apparently I don't need this tweak :roll:

Most new high end DAC and CDP has "upsampling" capability. If your CDP or DAC is capable upsampler, you don't need this. Unfortunately, mine is just a basic DAC and adding this makes everything "new".
