Re: "The peaks are higher" Could you explain that?

I understand what you mean, but again--doesn't a D/A converter do that [the interpolation] anyway? I suppose some are better at it than others, but that's still the idea, right? If not, as the frequency of a signal approached the sampling rate, passably accurate reconstruction of the signal from the data would become highly problematic. In the simplest case as an example, when a 20kHz sine wave is digitized at 44.1kHz and then reconstructed, from what I've seen on an oscilloscope, it doesn't result in a clipped or unreasonably distorted waveform.

I could be mistaken, but that's been my understanding. If I'm wrong, I certainly appreciate the information.
