But there is nothing inherently digital about SS as compared to tubes.
You could conceptualize human neurostructure as digital in basic character, but that would be missing a lot of the subtleties. It comes down to the resolution, which our brains do much better right now than our devices.
What we have is a compromise between our perception and our device execution/technology.
It's sort of getting better, but slowly. Analog recording is potentially better because it better relects how our brains process signals, but it's mechanically not equal to the task. It is very much worth building better microphones and processing algorithms.
To say that today's state of the art is even close to perfection is not even laughable, it's absurd.
If digital is going to make it it has to get much better and much faster, which I think it eventually will. The pitfall of that is that our devices will eventually outsmart us.
That's a real possibility, but we have to build music appreciation into them. Before they conquer the world.
Just kidding, sort of.
