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.

If you experiment with speakers, you can get pretty close to it now.

I think speakers are the most vital part of the chain.

I am listening to old JBL Lancer speakers with Alnico woofers, and sansui receiver - with a sony CD player, and the sound is enjoyable.

Sometimes it brings tears to my eyes and that's good enough for me...

I believe in alnico !

Try 192/96 DAC - the sound becomes smoother, so you can play louder without hurting your ears, so more emotion comes through.

There are computer programs that will convert it to higher specs as well. If you re-burn your red book CDs on a good cdr like taiyo yuden, the sound becomes better.

EAC program is best for ripping the data into the computer.

Feurio program is best for burning.

Both can be downloaded for free - just google it.
