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.
