Output device for USB DAC

Interesting reading and equally interesting opinion. I always thought over sampling at 88.2Khz was better than upsampling to 48Khz. Doesn't the math work better? Assuming I don't want to molest the original audio in any way I would need to set things up for 44.1Khz but alas I keep getting that pesky playback error. The screen below is the only way things seem to work right.

That's really odd that it won't go past 48 kHz with the hw: output unless you're outputting to a Bluetooth device (speakers?) or something like that...
But it also looks like you're using Media Center 24, is this correct? If so it may be too old for that newer Ubuntu, which because it's older (with older libraries and dependencies) it may have issues with newer versions of Linux distros. Linux is the least friendly when it comes to backwards compatibility with older Media Center versions and is most likely to break with them as time goes on. You might try trialing MC27 and see if you can reproduce the issue there as there's been a good number of improvements since MC24.

You thought is correct. oversampling is way better than up sample.
I've read a piece, which i can't find anymore. It showed that with up sample form 44.1 to 48 only 1 out of 11 bits actual match with the original. This means that the up sampled audio only match the original track in 10%. All other bits have been interpolated.
Oversampling just doubles the info, which in theory should not affect the sound, unless you have a crappy DAC, then the oversampled track might sound better.

Sorry for not knowing but can you point me to the link that explains how to upgrade/install for Ubuntu?
Thanks a bunch Wheaten!
