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.

Jwt, I don't think this is Rick Schultz that makes the magnetic cable. I have Dan Wright's Tube modded Modright Oppo 105 and really enjoy it. He is a class act and wonderful to talk to on the phone.

Tubegroover, I wonder if we could improve the sound further by replacing some of his caps with dueland caps.

Dan likes the Dueland caps but they are very expensive. I don't know if they would fit as they are a lot bigger in size.

Bobbob, not really the Modright 105 sounds fantastic the way it is. I'm just wondering if the performance can get even better with the Dueland Cast caps. I think these are the best caps out there right now.

Bifwynne, that is not always the case. I have redbook cd's that sound better than the same SACD's I have and I have SACD's that sound better than the redbook. It depends on who did the remastering as they all have an idea of what final sound they want.

Metralla I'm not talking about comparing to the redbook layer in the same disc. I'm talking about comparing SACD to its RED book counterpart. The redbook layer on the SACD is never as good as the SACD of it. I have always found the redbook cd by itself is always better than the redbook of a hybrid cd.
