My point is that the year has nothing to do with how good a technology is. You pointed out that it's the year 2014, yet the Analogue console I posted a link to is on a website from the year 2014, not yesteryear.

Yes, that's right, it's a current website.  The beast that lives there is the finest money can buy and it's 100% Analogue, the state-of-the-art in audio in 2014 is a machine that is Analogue, not digital.  It doesn't matter how much money a person has to spend on audio technology, the one thing you can be sure of is that if you want the best, you will be buying analogue, not digital.
