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 think it's a relative question. For years, analog off of records and tape resolved much more resolution - just like analog film reolved more detail than digital! Same deal.
Another point of issue, is that most home audio speaker systems aren't dynamic and nibble enough to accurately portray what's on the source material, in a dynamically realistic way. That's what I find anyway. Basically, you're mostly dealing with "non-perfect systems", that have holes and flaws somewhere along the way. So how can you capture it all? Always compromises, regardless
