Obviously not.

You're not very smart are you? I mean, do you receive frequent head
injuries?

Do yourself a favor. Record something on your PC, or be lazy and
extract a song from a CD, it doesn't matter.

Hey, genius, the COMPUTER IS A DIGITAL DEVICE! When you record to a WAV
file on your PC, it is using PCM - the same encoding scheme as CDA!

Compare the files. They are identical.

No **** sherlock! You know, someone who knows what they're talking about
would have used an oscilloscope. They would have perhaps used a
reference standard like a 1 kHz sine, and recorded it on a decent tape
at the same time they recorded it to a wav file. Then, they would have
played both of them back on a dual channel oscilliscope. In that case,
at high resolutions, that person (who knows what they're talking about)
would note a stepped waveform pattern from the output of the WAV file,
while the analog device would have produced a smooth sine wave. Even the
best soundcards available produced a sigmodically stepped sine wave.

The actual sound wave is IDENTICAL. I lined up 4 different extractions
from different software, and they all were identical.

A wav file recorded using PCM is identical to CDA - which is recorded
using PCM. Golly, imagine that.

You may have a crappy CD drive.

This is fairly interesting, since all CD drives on the planet are made
by a handful of companies such as Pioneer, LG, or Matsu****a.

You CANNOT extract a soudn file, compress it with MP3, OGG Vorb, AAC or
WMV and decompress it to the original wave.

Nor can you do it with CDA.
