General audio topics that don't fit into specific categories.

too broad a brush

it is true that digital sampling uses discrete separate values, which are in a sense discontinuous. It is also true that the reconstruction filter is designed to get rid of these discontinuities and restore the original analog waveform- within limits established by quantization noise and other noise sources.

I would say you should pick one particular digital device that seems overly "crisp" to you and try to figure out what is going on with that single device.

I don't think you will get very far trying to posit "crispness" as a general property of all digital devices, either audio or video.
