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.

bilbo- thanks for supplying your note of commonsense sanity. I, too, have the Bill Evans recording. Just plain fine music. I also have the re-released "Everbody Digs Bill Evans"; another winner. Music with soul.

Isn't audio just a suspension of belief(or is that disbelief)? Whatever does this provides an escape from our day-to-day life. Analog(for me)does this and(this opens up a pandora's box) also changes the brainwaves. I am interested in digital doing this(I'm limited to 1981 and earlier albums.). I just need to know what(equipment?) is necessary.

Mmakshak, you might need (perhaps require) a twelve step program (a self help structured system), to wean you (reduce your usage of) the parenthesis. Your posts (comments) would be much easier (simpler) to read without them (the paranthetical comments).

So it's Bill Evans that has the soul, and as long as the recording is audible wherever you play it, that's what gets to the soul of the music.

Tvad, heck, no one understands me anyhow(Do you think it would help if I used less parentheses?).
