:-) 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...
