My head hurts.

Sean, are you saying that the number sequence 0,1,0,-1 (repeated at a
given frequency) is not a mathematical representation of an arbitrary
squarewave?

And why does the FIR display in the editor show it as a squarewave and
not as it's ringing, overshooting equivalent that I can see on the
scope after it has been reconstructed?

Obviously I'm missing something obvious? (won't be the first time)

You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it
ain't what you'd call minimal...SB3+Stontronics PSU - Altmann
JISCO/UPCI - TACT RCS 2.2X + Good Vibrations S/W - MF
Triplethreat(Audiocom full mods)- Linn 5103 - Aktiv 5.1 system (6x
LK140's, ESPEK/TRIKAN/KATAN/SEIZMIK 10.5), Townsend Supertweeters,
Kimber & Chord cables
Outdoors: Boombox+Creative Sub (If I remember to turn it on...)
