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.

I don't know about the soul, but the High Fidelity Ultimate Reference Rhodium pc on the Exemplar eXpo T 105 mod of the Oppo 105, has a more realistic sound stage than my Lenco/Ikeda 407 with their 9TT cartridge/BMC MCCI vinyl. If you don't get goosebumps with realism in a great performance, there is something wrong with you.

How is Rhodium used in the High Fidelity PC... And what is its audible performance virtue? G.

Tbg,
Coming from you that's quite a statement as I know how much you enjoy your BMC phono- analog set up. As I've said before, both mediums can be splendid and both can be uninspiring.

Charles1dad, I never thought I would say that either. They are quite different, but digital has gotten quite close, if not ahead.

If as rumored, Sony transfers all it master tapes to quad DSD, master analog tapes will no longer be the definition of best. I'm soon to have a double DSD capable music server. No doubt quad DSD is some way off. But I'm moving to be prepared.

Guidocorona, hi long time no see. I think Schultz merely fines a smooth plating is needed and Rhodium allows it. I personally prefer berelium/copper but that has gotten hard to find in the US.
