"The peaks are higher" Could you explain that?

I thought (X)dBFS was (X)dBFS, but perhaps there's more to it?

I understand that if you double the number of samples, there will be a greater number of samples at the predicted maximum excursions of the waveform by virtue of interpolation, but I was under the impression a D/A converter does that anyway. Besides, aren't we talking about extremely small differences for signals in the audible range? While I believe that extremely small differences can be perceived in many cases, I'm not sure how that relates to the issue of dynamics.

Maybe I'm missing something? Thanks.
