Is it possible to make a digital file sound like an analog LP?
Indistinguishably? No
Adequately? Possibly
When you digitize a file you select some of the information to keep and some to discard.
"Lossless" means after you have performed the step above you select a means of storage that does not lose any more of the original information.
There are now two problems. You must have D to A hardware to fill in the parts lost when you digitized the file. Some hardware is better than others. Some methods are better than others.
How the hardware and software go about putting Humpty Dumpty back together again is the trick.
If there was a perfect way to do it why are there so many DACs and methods?
