Depends what you mean. Compared to what? If what you want is something back from the system that's somehow more subjectively pleasant than what you feed it, I guess you'll need to go back to analog mixing.
My real point is there's no way to know how much of the comparison between an analog desk and a RADAR with the latest converters is a "lack" of
[objective] quality in the converters, versus a certain
[subjective] euphonic "quality" you happen to like in the analog.
Well, I say there's no way to know, but I think we probably have an opinion about that, don't we?
If you were to use an analog desk as the front end of a digital system (with a split so you can monitor the analog before/after conversion), you'd have some basis to judge the quality of the converters.
Comparing the present digital system to your memories of an analog system is probably going to favor your memories. Like comparing an actual present woman with your memories of one...
