Certainly it's misleading. The reconstruction of the analogue signal in a good DAC is obviously vastly more accurate than it suggests. However I really don't understand how it comes to be as good as it is - at least at high frequencies. In the extreme case, at 20kHz (not that I've been able to hear that for a few years) we are looking at trying to reconstruct the waveform from just 2.2 samples per wave. That simply isn't enough information, surely?
