I don't think that is true, given that digital will always be samples of the original. I worked at a mastering studio that had a laser record player, best sound I have heard.

> I don't think that is true, given that digital will always be samples of the original. Nyquist–Shannon begs to differ.

  -In all fairness (and this does not have any practical implication whatsoever for the case discussed here, but nit-picking is a favourite pastime of mine), Nyquist-Shannon is not fully satisfied during music reproduction. N-S requires, for instance, an analog signal which is perfectly band-limited. This implies that it must be of infinite duration, which, obviously, is not the case. However, it is plenty infinite-ish enough for all practical purposes.

    and since we are nit-picking, Nyquist-Shannon doesn't have anything to say about quantized samples.
