Short answer: no. Digital audio can reproduce analog audio flawlessly already. Chris "Monty" Montgomery has some excellent videos on the topic that I was coincidentally listening to just this morning. This Verge article sums it up and links to his really excellent talks.

The point was not "flawlessly" but lossless.

Lossy and lossless has to do with the encoding not the signal processing. I'm just saying it is entirely possible to replicate an analog signal with a digital intermediary. Losslessness depends on the software.
