Citation : "L'essentiel c'est de se friter un peu de temps en temps (tout de même, on a ses opinions et on y tient, et les autres sont des connards, faudrait pas oublier), de se chambrer gentiment le reste du temps (on s'aime bien au fond), et surtout de se tolérer sur les mêmes forums parcequ'on a plein d'autres infos utiles à se filer dans d'autres domaines où on est plus en phase"

....2. Digital A versus Digital B....

In case 1 it is obvious that there are huge differences. An analog mixer contains some hundred transistors and each of them has a nonlinear transfer curve. The result is very complex distortion. On a good mixer some engineer did a great job adjsting the circuits in a way that this nonlinear behaviour sounds great. Also each D/A converter has an analog side and the same rules apply for it. Playing back a mix using one stereo converter will sound different from playing back each track with it`s own converter and then adding the resulting signal in a mixer.
We do not need to discuss here that there is a difference since this is obvious.

2. A summing bus in software is

A* a + B * b + ...

and if this is done with 32 bit or more the potential error is very low. Each software using 32 bit floating point math sound the same in this regard. Filters are a complete different issue. There are lots of concepts and they all sound different. Same goes for other DSP processing algorithms like timestrech, sample rate conversion etc. But the whole "audio engine" thread is a myth. I know that you are not going to believe this, but maybe then you should read some basic books about computer music. It will not only help understanding digital audio but also give tons of ideas about what to do with all these great tools !!!!!
