I believe non-upsampling machine sounds the most natural. The limitless note decay found in a non up and over sampling DAC is indicative of it's resolution powers.

For instance, the highest sampling freq. on the DV-50S is a multiple of 44.1 like the Sim products, 32x in this case. Don't know that much though as I just heard the Esoteric unit at a local shop for an extremely enjoyable few minutes.
