Willy, I don't believe that's correct.
As I understand it, digital upsampling converts CD audio from 16-bit/44.1kHz (one sample every 44,100th of a second) up to 24-bit/96kHz (one sample every 96,000th of a second). Basically, the upconversion processor examines the original data stream and, using some mathematical functions, creates more data to put in between the existing bits -- a process called interpolation.
Theoretically, the new data steam more closely represents the original waveform, resulting in a more natural, less digital sound. The results of upconversion can range from significant -- meaning you can easily tell the difference -- to none.
