Sound waves - analogue and digital reproduction

Analogue reproduction generates smooth (many-times differentiable) sound waves. These smooth sound waves are approximated by tiny discrete steps through various transformations in digital reproduction. You can't actually hear the "jumps" from one step to another, but the transformations do eliminate the fuzzyness (I am not using this as a technical term) in analogue signals and this may be what you are discribing because sonically it overwhelms the *jumpiness* part.
