Analog recording attempts to reproduce faithfully the original sound, and if done properly, you can get it.
Digital recording attempts to reproduce approximately the original sound. By using a large number of bits you can get as close as a one million of a percent difference, but never the exact thing.
So, the correct statement is: digital reproduction can be as close as one wants to the original sound, so small the difference that indeed it could not be detected by ear, but it is never an exact replica.
So, digital recording and reproduction can be as good as analog, but NEVER better.
