nonono. digital will never be analog. it can get really really really close to analog but it will never be the same as analog.
see, analog is infinite, digital is limited. with any digital calculation you have to round it somewhere, like 2 numbers behind the comma or 1 million numbers behind the comma.
take for instance a thermometer. digital and analog. the digital one says a certain rounded temperature based on the programmed calculation. the analog one is not rounded. the more you look closely at the analog thermometer at where the line is, the more accurate the reading gets and this "zooming" is infinite. you can keep on dividing the measuring units till kingdom come.
but i do agree if you would have a digital thermometer which rounds a million numbers behind the comma it doesn't really matter (besides it's useless anyways). but it's the same with any digital machine. to a certain point it well get so close to analog that for untrained eyes, ears etc. it's hard to see or hear a difference. but theoretically it'll never be the same as analog.
