I feel like we're in an Abbott and Costello routine.

Data is nothing until it's pumped out of a DAC at a specific rate.
Lets say it's 64Msps is the exact rate we're going to be feeding some
DACs.  We know there is an interpolating CIC filter beforehand.  We
figure we'll do a power of 2 to ensure there is no extra gain added to
the signal - so we choose 64.

Knowing this information, the stream at the output of the
interpolating CIC filter is 64Msps, and the stream going in is
64/64Msps, or 1Msps - then we know we should generate a stream of data
that is in fact a 1Msps representation of whatever data we wish.

In your case, you wish to make a 270.8333kSps (the S here means
Symbols ... also known as a baud) stream into a 1Msps sample stream.
With some quick math, I can determine that you need to interpolate by
the exact value of 48/13.  This has your data (270.8333kSymbols/sec)
at a sample rate of 1Msample/sec.

The lesson here is to never mix the terminology of sample and symbol
(or baud) rate.

Is it more clear as to what you're doing now?
