good grief.  are you a musician or a fucking accountant?
...........or are you a troll??

I also own an evolver (just the standard one though) and an XTk.
they're totally different things.....
The XTk is a great synth to have, but, well, it's no evolver.... and the
evolver is no XTk... oh, and evolver is nothing like an A6 either.

As for saying the evolver has no analogue signature (FFS, it says
"analog/digital synth" right there in big letters on the front!!), well
maybe you should actually listen to one in person before deciding that....
rather than just making up some ridiculous complaint about the evolver's
architecture (its the digital parts in it that make it what it is as much as
the analogue parts.... "sidechaining" the feedback loop and 2 of the
oscillators per voice would make no sense at all...)

What next? are you going to complain the evolver doesn't have firewire like
a MOTU 828 does? or maybe that it doesn't load any samples like an MPC4000
does? or are you going to complain it doesn't have a set of built in default
drum sounds like the MC303? ....or it doesn't make coffee like an espresso
machine, while pressing your suits and getting 20 miles per gallon on the
freeway?

buy one. listen to it. Maybe you will be able to post a sensible comment
then... and hey, if you don't like it, isn't there a money back guarantee?
from DSI website: "All sales are 100% guaranteed; if you don't like your
synth (though I can't imagine that happening!) you can return it within 2
weeks for a full refund as long as it is still in new condition."
