There is also another possibility to emulate the sound of the IIx more faithfully.
 
If someone would build a firewire/USB audio interface with 8 8 bit D/A-channels that use a 
variable sample clock to transpose the sample of each channel and has an analogue filter for 
each channel, using eg. the CEM chips from the DSI Prophet '08/Evolver.

I have no idea how hard it is to design an audio interface with todays technology that uses 
old 8 bit technology. But I'm guessing that it isn't asking too much from the technology. Or 
am I mistaken?

The front end can than be a faithfull emulation of the IIx's system as a VST or stand alone 
application that drives the external audio interface.
