It totally depends on which DAC you are using.
If the DAC internally upsamples everything to 96khz, and if the DAC's internal SRC is worse than SOX, then yes.
If the DAC internally upsamples, but the DAC's internal SRC is better than SOX (such as Schiit's patented technology), then no.
If the DAC does not internally upsample, then definitely no.

Truly appreciate the awesome contributions of a digital genius here like kstuart. An expertise acquired entirely from marketing literature is an invaluable asset to be envied and admired by all.

I have professional qualifications in both "digital" (your terminology) and audio.
You are likely using something right now that I helped design.
And now I am waiting for a comment that is not an Ad Hominem Fallacy:

Given the credibility of some of your other source material, it isn't entirely surprising that the Wikipedia page commences with "This article's factual accuracy is disputed".
This thread is about SoX resampling.
For example, the 9018 ESS Sabre DAC supposedly takes all PCM sources, no matter what their sample rate, and upsamples to 84.672MHz. How can MC's upsampling from say 44.1kHz using SoX's algorithms to 176.4kHz make an audible difference compared to using SSRC's algorithms, when the DAC will upsample 480 times higher to 84.672MHz anyway?
I only ask because after a few weeks listening, I kind of think with SoX the sound is pretty good.

kstuart,
Please don't market anything here.
sorepinky,
Please don't provoke him.
