Not an expert in this field, just a scrub, so I can't really give you much.

There is this website that has painstakingly compares many resampling algorithms from all sorts of software:

https://src.infinitewave.ca

Try it's mirror if you can't access it: https://megapro17.github.io/src/index.html

The only one that says it is a cubic interpolation is the "Renoise 2.8.0 (cubic)" one, the spectrogram isn't very promising with all sorts of noise, intermodulation and aliasing issues. And, by switching to the 1khz tone spectrum view you can see some harmonics creeping up.

When I used to mess with trackers I would sometimes chose different interpolations and bicubic definitely still colored the sound, with sometimes enjoyable results. Obviously you don't want that as a general resampler...



Just to note that this site hasn't been updated for a while.

Much better, more modern and with automated upload analysis site would be [1] although it is designed for finding the highest fidelity resampler rather than AB comparisons.
