My dads older Teac PD-365 has something called 4 or 8 X Oversampling Does it really make that much difference in sound quality? Does my CD Player have this feature? Kenwood DP-R6070

Oversampling is a method by which the digital-to-analog reconstruction can be performed more accurately. Older conversion chips did not oversample, and as a result the analog low-pass filter had to be more gradual. This means you might be a few or even several dB down by the time you hit 20kHz.
All modern mass-market audio gear is going to be using an oversampling implementation. Only boutique gear or stuff that's at least several years old might be using a non-oversampling implementation.
There are still many people who prefer the sound of non-oversampling gear.
