Exactly what is oversampling?


Can anyone explain what this term actually means? I notice the new generation of inexpensive Pioneer dvd players feature 192kHz/24 bit D/A converter chips. Does this mean it's upsampling an audio signal? If so, will it perform near to, say, an Audio Aero Capital cd player which costs about $5000. Please clear this up for me.

Had long term play demos at last club meeting between the Aero Capital and dCS Elgar and Purcell combo. dCS was more impressive. (and more money)
