I am interesting in the claim regarding NOS "upsampling". Can you provide a reference or link?

You can see in the above measurements that NOS is not really NOS. This was also called out by GoldenSound in his review.

I believe it depends on what sample rate is being sent to the DAC. If one sends 1,536 kHz, it’s NOS. 

 

I do not how know it works at 1.536. I am of the understanding that if you were to feed your Qobuz/Tidal which say is 16/44 to 24/192 into any denafrips dac and the mode selected is NOS, then the DAC applies DSP and upsamples it to 768k by default. Where as a NOS dac in NOS mode should allow 16/44 to be processed as 16/44. Maybe @GoldenOne you can explain in lay man's terms why denafrips dacs are not really NOS in their NOS mode compared to other NOS dacs. Thanks
