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 did not think older CD players got the sould of music, but they are doing better lately. I think Simaudio Andromeda does (maybe not as good as TT), and some others I am sure depending on system. It also depends on what musical characteristics you like (insturments sound somewhat real, somewhat real dynamics, etc).

To me the soul of music depends a little on my mood too. Sometimes I am in the mood, other times no.

Thanks

(Referring obliquely to first response) It seems for me anyway, The Sim Andromeda does. More so than Eclipse. I cannot identify all the attributes, but for one the timbre of instruments, dynamic contrast, detail, etc. Power conditioner helped (Running Springs Audio Dimitri im my case). AT a much less price point it seemed the Sony XA5400ES had some good midrange, and I would day soul, depends on how you identiry that. I tried that for a month in October 2009. Thanks.
