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.

If you experiment with speakers, you can get pretty close to it now.

I think speakers are the most vital part of the chain.

I am listening to old JBL Lancer speakers with Alnico woofers, and sansui receiver - with a sony CD player, and the sound is enjoyable.

Sometimes it brings tears to my eyes and that's good enough for me...

I believe in alnico !

I just wanted to mention a few things here about digital. One well-respected reviewer says that he has "a 1985 chip, no oversampling, no digital filter, and a proprietary tube-based, re-construction filter at the end. I know that someone here recommended oversampling. Someone else said that advances in the last 4-5 years have elevated cd playback. A designer said that DSP corrections are where it's at. There was one other thing mentioned, but I think it might have to do with what Meitner does(I can't find it.)? Any further thoughts?

That other thing mentioned was " the original multi-MB sampling rate of Sony hi-res format(SDS) was found by TAS to be superior to analog".
