As DSP power advances, the idea is to recreate the "analog computing" portion digitally. Which makes it a lot more tweakable, and even upgradeable into the future.
I wonder what is meant here by "analog computers". That is what op-amps are, "operational amplifiers": summing amps, differential amplifers, etc.
