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.

Very late to this thread....but my experience is with my tube DAC.....soul or something is present. No brightness edge.....just rich highly transparent involving tunes. With my XM radio.....they play vinyl....so who needs records.

Tvad,

On a serious note, I have read where HDTV created a serious problem for Hollywood in that it was increasingly difficult for otherwise attractive stars to look good in high definition.

The solution: more makeup (analog, not digital make-up I believe).

This is obvious these days on TV to most anyone.

I suppose this is the video equivalent of digital remastering in audio.

I think Hoover uprights suck.

Yeah, Albert, a significant advantage, I know, but a Hoover won't chat and take care of you as you get old.

...except there is no body-doubles in the orchestra.
