Those articles talk bollocks I'm afraid, I suppose the brand new analogue synths aren't getting used either :-P
I'm guessing the industry is crapping it's greedy pants at the very thought of analogue, believe me, especially a-holes like Apple.

You want to talk kids stuff, buy an iPad.

Don't start hisssssssssing, it makes you sound like Mr Devil Snake, and there's nothing wrong with a bit of hiss ;-)
BTW, I'll stick with analogue, the superior technology that is the result of a pure, unquantized signal :-D

I also know a fair bit about audio, in fact a lot more than you do, obviously.
