Often I hear about upsampling and oversampling when I read reviews about CD players. I am not a sophisticated, knowledgeable person when it comes to technical stuff...I learn a little bit here and there when I pose a probllem. As far as I now understand the process regardng CDs I believe that the 1s and 0s are 'samples' of sound and not a continuous sound wave as it was on vinyl, and so CD players try to fill in the gap with additional samples...trying to fill out the 'sample' so to speak. Now that may be absolutely incorrect, in which case some kind responder will clear it up for me...but so far that is how I believe it is. So.... this makes me wonder if there is any difference in sound from a CD player that upsamples or oversamples to 92 or 192...there is one CD player that upsampes to 782 I believe... I have heard opinions that say upsampling does not matter at all, that 92 is sufficient, that 192 is better..no different etc.. opinions go all over the place when you read commentaries and reviews. So...how does a dumb dumb like me decide how to use the upsampling feature when selecting a new CD player? I do know that I have a $179.00 Sony CD player and also a $1200.00 Cary CD 308 CD player, and I know that the Cary SOUNDS MANY TIMES BETTER THAN THE SONY...THE SAME CD PLAYED ON ONE AND THEN THE OTHER IS VERY OBVIOUSLY DIFFERENT WITH THE CARY SO FAR OUT IN FRONT IT AIN'T FUNNY. Anyway, if anyone wants to chime in I will read your responses with great enthusiasm...so have at it.
