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 would all sound so much better if our ears were analog! What a shame that all mechanical hair movement in the cochlea is converted to nerve impulses in order to be sent to the brain (i.e. an analog to digital conversion, with individual nerves either firing or not).

It is very high resolution digital in there at least. Thank you God!

They show this in the IMAX film about the human body...a must see for any audiophile!
Yea, but you guys forget, that ye olde braine converts it back to analog as the music hits our emotions or are you guys tickled by electric impulses???? (;
This old argument of analog vs digital is getting more and more far fetched as time passes. . . unfortunately our neurophysiology in its richness and complexity transcends the trite definitions of 'analog' and 'digital'. . . I just hope no one starts invoking pop quantum mechanics as the next obvious facile mantra that just explains-it-all'. G.
