Commercial CDs may be plagued with all kinds of problems, but those problems aren't inherent to the medium itself...they're a result of the way those CDs are produced (and, more specifically, mastered, for the most part at least). As far as the math is concerned, with only 44.1 samples per waveform "not looking so good"...it doesn't matter how good that looks, because that's more than enough to perfectly reproduce the signal captured. Same with the 4.41 samples per cycle at 10kHz, etc...it may not appear logically that that's enough, but it's actually more than enough, and that was proven decades ago. Even though the filters used in today's converters aren't perfect, digital recording today is still more accurate than analog recording ever was. Sure, whether analog recording sounds "better" is open to debate, but accuracy is not.
