[LAU] [OT] hardware sound module with digital output

Hello everyone,

I was randomly looking at current hardware synths, noticing than most of
them offer only analogue outputs. It looks odd to me to generate a sound
in the digital world, then convert it to analogue, just to convert it
back to digital at recording time... If analogue output is obviously a
must, I'm wondering why, even in very expensive keyboards where cost
saving is a smaller issue, an AES/EBU (or at least a S/PDIF) output is
not available.

Any thought ?

Thanks,

Charles
