| A. Maybe the bits are stored on a carrier wave? Like a T1, per se.

This would require modulation, like the old C64 and Apple ][ tapes.  And
yes, doing so would require some very high frequency square waves.  Maybe
DCC does that, but DAT certainly doesn't because it is an inefficient
storage method.

| B. Maybe the bits arent recorded as waves. Just magnetic blips.

Whereas this is what is really happening.  The "blips" can be played as an
audible signal, but chances are you'll break something if you do that (like
your speakers or ears).
