Bah.

The human ear has limitations. If the digital representation
goes beyond those limitations, then it's as good as anything
else.

If you want to be really picky, are the discrete electrons
carrying that audio signal from your amp to your speakers
"analog" or "digital"???

Audiophiles are people that think the proper way to test the
frequency range of a piece of equipment is to sit in a soundproofed
room with the lights dimmed and listen to an album. They wouldn't
know proper test equipment if it fell on their heads.
