It's the same.
As mentioned, your hardware shouldn't be working at 2kS/s at all -- you
should definitely read the full textual output of your program

No, that's not oversampling.
Oversampling is taking your signal as it is now, i.e. calculated for a
digital-to-analog conversion rate of 2kSamples per second, and padding
it with N-1 zeros after each sample, so that you have N*2kS/s
afterwards. Because that N-1 introduces aliases, you have to filter the
result, so that the N*2kHz of Nyquist bandwidth actually only /contain/
signal in the central 2kHz. The result is the same signal, just at a
higher sampling rate.
