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 have heard some incredible sounding digital. For instance, at the Stereophile hi-end show in San Francisco in 1988(?).
1988? End of discussion.

So you ARE using the machina dynamica clock!

The thing is, Wc65mustang, is that there have been so many advances in cable-just in the last 4-5 years, that I can assure you that the Oritek X-2 will outperform almost all of the top-ten interconnects of all time
Just over a week ago, you were touting the X-2 as one of the top ten IC's of all time, and now you claim not to have heard the best. Furthermore, today's post would have us believe that you have not even heard the X-2's at all:
Yes, I consider him a friend. He emailed me and said if you want your PRAT, here it is. He meant the X-2's.
Finally, this thread in which you disparage digital playback turns out to be primarily due to the sound of car stereos? And CD players from 1988 and earlier? As I said before, this discussion is over. You make-a no sense, and the horoscope comment is only deepening my confusion.

Jeez (TRL) Jack (TRL), if (TRL) you (TRL) were (TRL) any (TRL) less (TRL) subtle (TRL), we'd (TRL) miss (TRL) your (TRL) point (TRL) entirely (TRL).
