It isn't impossible; you don't even need to duplicate the exact shape of 
a sine wave to reach a quality level accomplished by common analog 
sources.  It just needs to be close enough that the *human ear* can't 
detect the difference.  Just because most digital recordings cut corners 
to reduce costs doesn't mean that it's an inherent quality of the 
medium; the other thread about hating DVD as a medium isn't about hating 
DVD as a medium, it's about hating the way it's *commercially used*, not 
using it to anywhere near the level it could be.
