[PROBLEM] Pi 4 with Boss DAC 1.2. New user

[philrandal]

If you have a reasonable good RPi DAC or USB DAC and the down stream audio gears, you really don't need SoX. However, if you have a NOS R2R DAC, the upsampling will move the  quantization noise to the higher frequency band. This will make the post analog filter more effective. If both SoX and EQ are turned on, the processed sound may have chance to be messed up. I have experienced this.

That's a good point.  I'll try the Sanskrit without SoX when I have a chance.

EQ is to me, the antithesis of hi fidelity, and so is best avoided.
