I suspect there is a bit of this going on with that test... It's "proof"
that digital consists of square waves! For years, before looking into
that test and figuring out what they were doing (-90dB!), I remember
being reminded of this idea every time I looked at this test image.

Of course once I actually started to pay attention and actually thought
about the fact that they were doing -90dB at 16-bits did I realize that
it was actually a -great -thing to see a DAC be able to reproduce that
square wave cleanly and desirable objective evidence of good low-level
accuracy...
