If you're talking about -100dB levels of noise or deliberately incompetent signal production (e.g., non-dithered)... yawn. If not, could...

Upsampling 16/44.1 collection a good idea?

Yes, and it was beside my point. Most people will never 'need' to add an upsampling step in their signal chains because if one is used...

Indeed. Many DACs already upsample at integer multiples (typically 4x or more) before conversion. They do this automatically and...

Toole uses and enjoys upmixing. And massive DSP for bass. He is hardly skeptical of 'post recording revisions' tout court.

Simply: no. Not a good or bad idea. Just pointless. If you have an AVR , it is almost certainly resampling anyway. And if not, still...
