Why are many 4-channel soundcards discontinued?

Rane shifted hands recently, they are still getting their stuff together so I wouldn't be surprised if they either reissue a SL but yeah since Denon is part of the same parent company we might see them branded Denon instead and keep Rane for mixers.

It's quite sad how they slowly made the A10 fade. My guess is that it wasn't selling all that well with most people that are moving towards a 4ch mixer getting one with a built in audio interface already and the rest are pretty likely to own one. The A10 is indeed Core Audio capable so you should be good for a while unless you are running Windows.

Now the question is, what do you guys think would be the best way to get 4 digital decks into something like a Xone:92 or similar analog mixers? (not wanting to buy one, just want to start nice discussion around it )

I think the only reason to buy an A10 specifically (over a different 4-channel soundcard) is that it can be Traktor Scratch enabled.

Probably preparing for the launch of the Z4 or something similar.
