I'm not really interested in this recording stuff (...well I don't even
have a CD player instead of my CD-ROM in the computer). But here's
another idea.

CD players expect waves that usually were recorded in studios, all with
the usual low-pass filter stuff. Also, the
oversampling/interpolating/etc. DAC's in the players were optimized for
such soft waves and not at all for this square-like bitstream signal.
What if the stream, before recording to the CD, was rather optimized for
transmitting sinusoidal waves (like modems do through a telephone line
anyway)? Then the DAC would cause less troubles (since it should better
re-generate those soft waves) and there would be also less problems with
the analog to bitstream decoding logic.
