Never forget that if you put an analog square wave on one end of a long cable, on the other end what you will receive won't be a square wave, but a rounded version of it.
Yeah, and the rounding as a result of an analogue signal coming through a cable will probably be different to the rounding generated by a dac from a digital signal. I guess this is my point. There is going to be a difference in the wave forms, but it comes down to whether we can hear a generic difference in a waveform generated from analogue gear, or from digital gear.
Moreover, a squarewave is a digital concept mainly. There's really no way to do it in analog.
And all digital signals are actually analogue on the wire.
