U-he, who is probably at the cutting edge of emulation, said in an interview recently that it would require a whole new generation of hardware to create a perfect emulation. This is not a fact that you hear much in the world of marketing!
This may be true in absolute terms. However it also serves them (and similar companies) to say that the tech is not perfect yet, keeping the door open for new versions of the same software every few years, with each new gen of chips.
