Upsampling vs Oversampling vs No Oversampling?


Hello,
I was just wondering what are the general differences in the sonics of cd players that use upsampling as opposed to regular oversampling are?
Also, how do the sonics of the older cd players that did not use either oversampling or upsampling compare to the newer ones that do?
Which do you prefer and why?
Thanks for your answers.

Audio Research built two versions of their CD3 during development. One of them used upsampling, one did not. After evaluation, they ended up building the CD3 with no oversampling.
