The Weiss units all internally double sample, but I feel that you minimize the tradeoff by upsampling at the beginning and downsampling at the end of the chain, which turns off the up/down sampler in each Weiss unit.

So, when analog processing, the DAC feeds the analog chain, and the A/D then runs at 96K, and that feeds the digital chain, so in this case the A/D is my upsampler.

I feel and do the same thing, maybe is just me but at 96 it seems that whatever I do with in the analog chain is better captured, and the L2 seems to sound better. Not sure about the D/A upsampling...
