I bought some of the Anadigm FPAAs a while ago, I need to get round to using them, one thing to note though is they seem to use the discrete time style circuit, so they actually switch at a high frequency between different capacitors to generate a filter.

Can you say a little more about this? Would that negate some of the benefit of this?
The Anadigm FPAA implementation is built on switched-capacitor circuits. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switched_capacitor. Alternative FPAA implementations exist, but are not yet commercially available. See RASP from Georgia Tech: http://hasler.ece.gatech.edu/Published_papers/FPAA_Papers/.
