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.

Guidocorona makes an extremely salient argument for the re-orientation of most audiophiles. In the end, whatever brings one closer to the music is the right technology:O)
I just sent my Sony XA5400ES to Dan at Modwright for some soul. Can't wait to hear his Ultimate Truth Mod...and I get a tube rectified external power supply as well!!
I have found that a spoon full of tube magic helps the digital go down....the digital go down, the digital go down! Specifically, the Yaoin Tube Stage Buffer, which adds harmonic completeness t a digital front end!
Outboard DAC's have always presented there own unique problems...after all, what you hook them up to and how can be severely detrimental to the sound.
One of the Best front ends I've ever heard is the Modwrighted Sony XA5400ES WITH FULL TRUTH MOD! Vinyl like qualities with tremendous palpability!
