In my opinion, the SoX resampling sounds better than the internal TI 5122 resampling. Significantly better. I am posting this to suggest that if you have the 5122 (e.g. HiFiBerry, etc.), give SoX 32/384 a try, and see what you think. I would like to hear your opinions.
I mostly listen to classical. I think choral has been some of the most difficult music to reproduce. SoX 32/384 has really cleaned up the sound of choral.
I wonder if it sounds better because SoX doesn't suffer from the TI 5122's intersample overload distortion mentioned in the comments here - http://archimago.blogspot.com/2016/10/me...m5122.html
Or maybe not! A later post by Archimago says he uses a 4dB attenuation in Sox to avoid overload distortion:
