Yeah, and the rounding as a result of an analogue signal coming through
a cable will probably be different to the rounding generated by a dac
from a digital signal. I guess this is my point. There is going to be a
difference in the wave forms, but it comes down to whether we can hear a
generic difference in a waveform generated from analogue gear, or from
digital gear.

And all digital signals are actually analogue on the wire.
