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.

Digital is going to get the soul of music the minute you stop analyzing the sound and looking for flaws, and just relax enjoy your favorite artist with a glass of your favorite wine.

I have to mention here(God forbid) the "Absolute Sound" has two things in its last issue dealing with surround sound(I'm sure this is not the correct term.). One has to do with not auditioning a backlog of cd's. The other had to do with an Outlaw equipment review. I think both relate to what D_edwards has been talking about. I do want to say that Valen is great addition to the "Absolute Sound", in my opinion. Admit it, Guidocorona, you've had some training in the medical field, as I found your terminology to be correct.

D_Edwards, I heard a cd with Eric Clapton where the guitar sounded too fast. Would surround sound make more sense of this?

No,

You may have a transport problem. I use my Genesis digital lens to ferret out transports with clock problems.

I'm waiting for an affordable PC based tester so I can save results and take my laptop to test systems away from home.

Now if you're talking about the sustain of an electric guitar or decay of say the plucked strings (unplugged).

Surround can help here but I don't want drivel on about something unrelated. So you can describe "too fast" a little more succinctly based on what i've said above.

Which track of which recording, maybe I have it here.
