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.

Using even a half assed A to D converter a recorded LP is undistinguishable from the original play. This take time.

Then there's are the LampizatOr DACs. This take money.

The soul is there.

Last week I bought a Olive 06HD streamer. I also bought the brand new pure silver Audioquest Wild Blue Yonder with the new xlr connectors. I use a Purist Audio powercable with oyaide 004 connectors. This combination is stunning and one of the best analogue sound I ever heard from a digital source. In 2 weeks I will write a review about it!

Bifwynne, the ARC Reference DAC is $16k and the CD9 is $13k.

ARC does not have a $30k DAC.

The soul of the music is in the heart and soul of the listener. Digital has done it for me already.
