When is digital going to get the soul of music?

I have to ask this(actually, I thought I mentioned this in another thread.). It's been at least 25 years of digital. The equivalent in vinyl is 1975. I am currently listening to a pre-1975 album. It conveys the soul of music. Although digital may be more detailed, and even gives more detail than analog does(in a way), when will it convey the soul of music. This has escaped digital, as far as I can tell.

Tvad, I appreciate your heads-up about my writings. I can see it from your 12-step comments. I may deviate a little bit from the main subject from now on, but I can see that it is harder to follow what I'm saying when I use parenthesis.

Mmakshak,

"Isn't audio just a suspension of belief(or is that disbelief)?"

This question reminds me of a quote I heard recently (which sort of turns our audiophile world upside-down).

"Art is freedom from the truth".

Can't remember the source...

Don't get mad at me for posting this. Although I believe that I should do research in the area of the best cd players for the money, I have a problem. In many cases, I get tense listening to cd. I know that many people don't, so I'm not sure that their advice might apply to me. I have heard that tubes might help this. There is another problem. Sometimes digital doesn't make sense to me-especially with high-end players. With cheaper systems, cd can sometimes sound too hard for me. Anyhow, just some thoughts. Thanks Tvad.
