The quantization of amplitude isn't quite that straight forward though.

Usually some form of dithering is involved to transform any quantization errors into a smooth noise.

See http://www.audiocheck.net/audiotests_dithering.php

And I'm pretty sure a DAC isn't supposed to output jagged waveform, no matter how high the resolution.
