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?

Last August I posteed a thread asking if a CD droped into a transport tray hooked to an upsampling DAC would saidCD sound significantly better. Well, 2 weeks ago I bought an Electrocompaniet ECD1 192 upsampling DAC and hooked it to my MAC 205 player. It was a demo so the unit was burned in. WOW! What an unbelievable improvement in the sound of my CDs. I just can't say enough to express the changes this upsampler made!
