It's true. The output is filtered in a way to basically fill-in the missing
data points. Take a course in DSP sometime.

Unbelievable tripe. WRONG.


CD players use tricks to smooth out the waveform at high frequencies
because
of the fewer sampling points there. Higher sampling rates lessen the
effects.

Thanks everyone for all the comments and info, and lively discussion,
so far. What about the issue of *recording* the digital information?
Wouldn't differences between sampling rates, number of bits and DACs
used have some impact on how precise or detailed the recording will
be? Also, concerning the audio portion of DVD recording/playback, are
there any unresolved issues surroundng competing formats, just in the
area of *stereo* playback, leaving off matters involving 5.1 and so
forth? Thanks again.
