Oversampling is required as a means of implementing a digital filter in order to bandlimit the signal to the Nyquist frequency to prevent aliasing. The Nyquist frequency is solely a result of the original sample rate. Oversampling does, as a consequence, push the D/A conversion artifacts (sample glitches) to a higher frequency which allows the use of a more gentle filter on the DAC output (analog domain) for their removal.Upsampling does change the Nyquist frequency to a degree, or at least spreads the spectrum and allows an anti-alias filter with a more gentle slope. Or something to that effect :-)

- So what if... - Presto 12:25:00 04/04/07 (2)
- Yea, that's what makes upsampling a bit different - Slider 12:47:59 04/04/07 (1)
