If the CD logic is sound it must reproduce a perfectly square wave given a properly generated square wave test disk. The sinusoidal properties that the square wave on CDs display is the perfect example of how the CD theory is either improperly executed or has a basic fault. They ring, and you know it. They are not as good as they are supposed to be. Whether they are better than analogue technology is almost irrelivant except that mediocre examples of alalogue tech. produce better examples of what the digital tech. must produce better. CD get your basics correct first... this 'off by one' attitude will not be tollerated.
