I don't think that connecting analogue audio systems to D-STAR is a backward step at all. If anything it is a step forward, this will allow users of analogue systems to potentially see the benefits/features of D-STAR for those who have yet to be exposed to it. Ham radio is all about experimenting, why not experiment with connecting D-STAR to analogue systems, sounds like a natural evolution to me.
