The “stair-steps” you see in your DAW when you zoom up on a digital waveform only exist inside the computer. [...] When digital audio is played back in the Real World, the reconstruction filter doesn’t reproduce those stair-steps – and the audio becomes truly analogue again.

Yeah, it's strange people are thinking the display of a spectrum analyzer is somehow 1:1 with the underlying thing which they are measuring. As if a digital clock with only the hour and minutes displayed implies that seconds don't exist.
