Who mentioned a non-summing mixer? He said he wanted a 'full featured mixer', as opposed to a summing bus that lacks faders.

I still haven't found anyone who can explain why external analog summing is necessary. All experiments with summing ITB prove that it is deadly accurate, and noise-free. Summing in an analog box requires a whole bunch of converters, summing their noise floors together, and a whole bunch of resistors summing their noise together.

The question has been asked: is it simply 'analog dithering' - e.g. a layer of noise that analog summing diehards are craving?
