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.

"I suppose this is the video equivalent of digital remastering in audio"

...except there is no body-doubles in the orchestra.

Mapman, make-up has changed, but more importantly digital filtering has changed more.

Digital filtering is the digital audio equivalent of makeup I suppose.

Tvad, admit it...you really like this thread, don't you?

I want to point out that if it weren't for digital, many advancements in audio would have taken much longer to arrive at, or may not have arrived at all. I'm thinking of power line distortion, power cords(?), line-stages of preamps, speakers, etc.
