Is what we are all after. Regardless of the source material, the intent is to get the playback to sound as close to the source as possible. There are some outstanding recordings from the 50's and 60's that are high quality, certainly better than may made digitally during the loudness wars era.

Regardless of the source, what we are talking about here is replaying 16 bit/44.1 KHz files. Specifically, processing the 16 bit file to get to sound as close to the original as possible.

I've done some further looking into the RGGB-RT upscaling. I have a Topping DX9 on hand, and used it to upscale the CD files to 705 KHz. There is no doubt that the upscaled files sounded better than left at default processing. A lot better, in fact. The only issue is one needs sufficient horsepower from the computer to process the upscaled files.
