The 'mathematically correct' process for upsampling to a higher
sampling frequency is actually to turn the samples into impulses, and
then put a perfect step low-pass filter over them at half the original
sampling frequency. If I remember correctly, this is equivalent to
convolving with the sinc ((sin x) / x) function. This can give
overshoots as you're seeing.

If this is what they're doing, you could actually be seeing the
'mathematically correct' interpretation of the samples. Other forms
of interpolation (linear, or fitted-curves, say) always give
distortion of some kind.

(All of this according to my present level of DSP knowledge, so query
me if this doesn't make sense)
