When is digital going to get the soul of music?

I think this is a dead end thread. I think digital has the potential now to be the equal of master tapes. Sony is supposedly in the process of preserving its master tapes into quad DSD, but using a device with many opamps which are ruining the recording. So soon vinyl will be digital.

Already I listen to double DSD from sacds and upsampled from SACDs. I am most struck that what I hear from old vinyl differs greatly from that on reissues. Most often the high end is gone reissues.

I have a good vinyl system also but because of the above seldom can I say much about the comparison as they are different mastering.

"I think digital has the potential now to be the equal of master tapes"

I have not heard it yet, but I agree the potential is there.

Digital is good now, buy still not master tape quality. Some day maybe.

Jwm, if all of the old analog master tapes have deteriorated and saved only in quad DSD, we have to hope the digital is equal to what used to be master tapes.

Hi, Has any one listened to the new remastered mono Beatles complete compiled set?, My wife is a huge fan, I wanted to know if this is a good high-end recording for her to awe at and enjoy, maybe hear parts of the music that was not exsposed before?, would this be a worth while christmas gift?
