The biggest impact is it moves the alias frequencies far outside the audio band, allowing for simpler digital and analog reconstruction filters.
I think that is what we hear when we over sample - the filters used by the DAC, not the oversampling process itself.

That's the way I understand it also.
I let my streamer upsample everything to 4Fs.
It sounds really better.
