Remembered this a few days ago when watching the recent Wintergatan video where buddy there hooks up this massive multicore with a bunch of preamps to the Marble Machine X, and I'm just there thinking “It sure is satisfying to attach and click in a 28-channel multicore cable, but why not use AES67 (or AES50 for that matter)?”.

Nice thing about AES67 is that you can also, in theory, run the preamps and ADCs off PoE.

I think it's because they want to keep the signal analog as long as possible as a fundamental tenet of the machine.
