, the problem with RB is that under certain conditions, there are not enough dots to look like a smooth line.

This would, in a crude way, be true if the output stage did not include an anti-alias filter. Of course, any properly designed cd player has such a low pass filter. Therfor the result is a smoothed sinewave, as it should be. Their is a trend of some 'exotic' cd players to not include an antialias filter(they claim this, though, still a mild low pass filter(1st order), otherwise the aliased signal could possibly damage electronics and/or speakers--this insufficient slope will not provide adequate filtering of aliased data to prevent audible side-effects), the aliased bi-products can result in audible inter-modular artifacts when combined with the main audible passband. These would most probably be identified in a blind test easily! :-)
