I agree. The digitization process would be an approximation no different to using a digital-to-analog converter source component. It's just the conversion to analog necessary to cutting the stamper using lasers would be done earlier in the reproduction chain and still need digital-to-analog conversion.

As far as having more amplitude/dynamic range there is no reason you can't do this in the analog domain.

Some may prefer the sound of this process, but you can reproduce the effect using analog techniques in ways that preserve faithfulness only analog can bring compared to present day microprocessor technologies/binary math.
