You are missing about every point in the thread. The DRM Troll started
out saying that the DRM SW was imminent because consumer radios existed.
There is one that I can find no thanks to the Troll. I don't know if
this one radio is actually being sold since it is described as a
"concept radio." He kept posting links of the same radios that are not
SW radios but are AMBCB or FM. The radios that did receive SW need a
computer to operate or they were very expensive professional rack mount
units. Basically the radios that need a computer are science experiments
for early adopters. There is no analog equivalent DRM SW radio being
manufactured today as far as I can tell.

A "Concept" unit is usually something that was built to take to trade
shows to see if there is a market for a product. With radios its not
uncommon for the "Concept" device to only have a computer board and
software to let you operate the controls. I saw one that cost a company
over $1,000,000 US dollars. It had a laptop inside, and a bunch of 50
Ohm 2 Watt carbon resistors across all of the BNC connectors, in case
someone actually tried to hook it up. The real prototype DSP based
telemetry receiver was still on the designers bench, not working.
