It would seem that you believe that my understanding of what upsampling does is wrong. I'm genuinely interested in finding out whether I've misinterpreted what upsampling is all about.
Further thought suggests to me that it's possible that the interpolation may not actually generate any higher frequencies, and that upsampling prior to the DAC is simply a digital alternative to the analogue post-DAC filter used in a "traditional" D/A conversion process. If that is the case, then I'm happy to accept that I have misunderstood what upsampling is all about. But all the published material I've seen (which admittedly is on the marketing side of things) from the likes of dCS seems to imply that the purpose of upsampling is to "fill in the gaps" and allow a higher sampling rate DAC to be used, with the clear implication that this produces extra high frequencies and gives the eventual signal more "resolution".
