"I for one actually don't like upsampled music..."
I felt like you before hearing cPlay's upsampling, and after a long spell with that, I'm now back in agreement with you. I suspect we are a tiny minority, but my experience might be salutary for others so here goes: The sound of good upsampling algorithms is pleasant and seductive - when you listen to it all the time it becomes addictive, and non-upsampling seems to be lacking something. Upsampling gives the illusion of higher resolution, and most audiophiles seem to like it. As with any addiction, it takes some time with non-upsampling to overcome it. Now when I switch over to upsampling, I hear an artificial smoothness and less defined dynamics, still pleasant, but I'm happier without it.
