Tape Project tapes on my Ampex or vinyl on my SME 30 sound better to me than anything I've heard on any digital gear I have tried or any digital gear that I have heard.
I'm trying a MacBook pro with a Weiss DAC 1 right now and it's very, very good. It delivers the best that digital can offer however, it's still a shadow of the best analog.
The problem, in my opinion, lies not in the player but rather in the medium itself.
Based on that, and in answer to the question, it is my belief that digital can't get to the soul of music the way analog does.
