I find it an interesting concept. If a laser cuts the stamper, then a cutting head isn't part of the process, right? And it isn't difficult to imagine that digital precision could make possible a more precisely manufactured stamper which might offer some advantage in playing time. Maybe. And which, once engraved, really is an analog signal.
I just visited a pressing plant yesterday - it was a very interesting place. I'll post some pics here soon.
