Can upsamplers alter a CD's sonic performance?


If I take a regular CD, recorded at 16/44 and put it in the tray of an upsampler player, will it play that CD at a higher rate, say,192 or something similiar? My question really is, merely by dropping the disc in the unit, will it perform/sound better?

Hello Pls1, can you please expand on this. I can't quite follow.

"The reason that upsampling improves the sound is that it allows the DAC to convert the digital info to analog with fewer added artifacts that are a result of the DAC's internal conversion algorithms and filters"

- How is it converting the digital to analog with fewer added artifacts?
- Where is the analog signal goes from there?

"These added analog artifacts (which are NOT part of the original CD's encoded data) make the analog signal sound harsh and congested. "

- Where is the upsampling come-in? Will it clean out the artifacts while the signal still in digital or analog?

Thanks, William
