Yes, because modern AD/DA technology can translate a digital signal to analogue with levels of distortion and noise way below the capabilities of human hearing to discern. But is it perfect? No. Nor can it ever be.
4 quarters are analogous to 1 dollar .
Analog has no "sample rate" just like a circle has no finite amount of points comprising its circumference.
You got me going until I saw ... "not" ... OooooofMusic is an analogue phenomenon. Therefore, converting it to ones and zeroes is an inherently evil and immoral act....
...not.

Nice Baudrillard/Borges reference.The only 100% accurate map of the world – whether digital or analogue – is the world itself.
typical elf response, they will answer with yes and no.Yes. And no ... ;-)

However, an analogue 'signal' is by definition not perfect either. It's analogue – meaning 'like something else' – an imperfect representation. So the question is essentially meaningless.
We might need three threads. One for those that took the red pill, one of those that took the blue pill and one for those that don't know there is a pill ....Nice Baudrillard/Borges reference.
FFS, not the stairsteps again. And it only gets worse from there.I just posted an article going through the mathematical exercise to show what would be required from digital system to perfectly mimic a vinyl LP.

When "step" size becomes small enough, at the limit as it reaches the smallest possible physical dimension for example, the step becomes essentially a point of negligible size. This is the basis of calculus.FFS, not the stairsteps again. And it only gets worse from there.

That was your first mistake.When "step" size becomes small enough, at the limit as it reaches the smallest possible physical dimension for example, the step becomes essentially a point of negligible size. This is the basis of calculus.
