I think I am talking about the difference between digital and analog 
rather than virtual and hard.

Once about 9 years ago on the DAW I remember writing about how the 
digital wave form for a sine wave up around say 19.k looks like a 
broken spiral staircase and how I find it hard to believe that any 
amount of filtering is going to turn that into a clean sine wave.  A 
lot of peaple called me ignorant for being decieved by the look of 
data but Nothing I have seen or heard since has ever convinced me I 
was wrong.
