What follows is the song "Jackie-Ing" in 24/96 AIFF



And the song "Jackie-Ing" 16/44.1kHz upsampled to 24/96 AIFF




Notice the steep cliff on the 16/44.1kHz, this brick-wall filtering is what I think is one of the major things that makes CDs sound so bad. And as you can see upsampling does not fix this. CDs are forever ruined as they shave-off the overtones above 20kHz as shown in the spectrogram above.
