In Reply to: UPSAMPLING or OVERSAMPLING ? posted by Glide on January 29, 2002 at 09:06:39:
the word "upsample" means to take a standard digital sample rate (such as 44.1k or 48k) and increase it to one of today's higher standard rates (88.2k or 96k). By "standard", I mean that which can be accepted by today's digital receivers (the CS8414 for example). Currently, that data rate is 96k, although MSB does 132.3 in their Platinum DAC. The word "oversample" means to use a multiple of today's standard sample rates (44.1k, 48k, 96k). For example, if 96k is the sample rate, then 8 times 96k (768k) would be the oversample rate. What upsampling and oversampling does is to allow a better more gentle filter to be used. In doing so, this gives music a smoother sound that is less affected by the filter's artifacts.
