Be aware that a rectangular wave has infinite frequency components in 
its edges. In any real physical system you have to lowpass this 
signal (either the reconstruction and / or the anti-aliasing filter). 
After filtering into the frequency range of interest (smaller than 
half sampling frequency) the wave looks like what you show in 
recording.png.

This is in each case true for a analog out- and input. I assume that a 
digital connection as well has to filter the signal as well to stay 
in the allowed frequency band according to your sample rate. Others 
might skim in with more knowledge on the digital side.

PS: apply a lowpass filter in Audacity to your playback signal and you 
will see the effect.
