Sorry no, both upsampling and oversampling are done completely in the digital domain. Where exactly it's done is hardware dependent. Older hardware tends to split the oversampling and actual Digital to Analog Conversion (DAC) into two chips, for example my Sonic Frontiers DAC uses a Pacific Microsonics HDCD filter chip to do the upsampling, and a Burr Brown DAC chip to do the actual digital to analog conversion. Newer hardware, like an SB3 or Transporter has a more complicated DAC chip which performs both functions internally. But regardless of the hardware, in both cases the oversampling is done in the digital domain, before the conversion to analog.
