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.

It's there now - IF you use the right A/D and DAC systems.

Nearly ALL professional recording set-ups are digital today, so even if you think you are listening to an all analog chain - it some point before you bought it, your record was digitally mastered.

The best digital systems run at 24-bit / 96 kHz and, if the bitstream is reconstructed using apodizing (time-domain-optimized) filters, it is completely transparent to my ears.
