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.

Frank,

That is correct; clocking is very important, as well as transports, DACs, analog stage etc. It is really a synergy of everything, and same applies to analog and the complete audio system. So if you are happy with it, just smile and enjoy your favorite tunes. :-)

Best wishes,
Alex Peychev

Frank - I see that I have missed quite a few posts on here today! This is a very busy season for me, as you can imagine. Anyway, Albert and Aplhifi have certainly gone much farther than I ever could towards answering the question you last put to me - all I can say is "yeah, what they said!" :) Seriously, though, one of the reasons I love this site is that I can read such posts by Albert or Atmasphere, who are both excellent at describing the technical reasons in layman's terms for things that I know I can hear, but don't have the technical knowledge to explain to someone else why I am hearing it. I realize that's a terrible sentence I just wrote, but it's late, and there is a reason I am a musician, not a writer, LOL!
