I was thinking the same thing. A wobbly 1 or 0 is still a 1 or 0. Unless data 
is being dropped or lost because of the wobble, there will be no sound 
difference.

When CD's hit the market years ago, Computer Music Journal had an article 
showing that the digital data affected listeners. People grew weaker and were 
not able to lift as much weight when listening to a CD as opposed to a vinyl 
record. How ridiculous, considering the CD output is filtered and appears as a 
continuous analog signal at the output.
