If you're really just needing sine waves - which are easy to make 
digitally without aliasing - it's hard to come up with a solid reason that 
analog is necessarily better in that application.

I recall reading somewhere that the new Buchla 261e takes this approach - 
it makes sine waves digitally, and then does all the waveshaping with 
analog circuitry. Interesting hybrid...
