therefore pressing will not start untill we clear this problem.
Anyone have any idea why they may differ?

You need to find someone knowledgeable at the plant who can explain those discrepancies in more detail. I'll bet the errors (discrepancies) are at the track marks (PQ). This is not a content comparison or audio comparison at all. The discrepancies could be completely trivial and describe a weakness in how you are writing CDs.

Does Sequoia have a method of reloading a CD or a DDP back into an EDL and showing you the PQ? If so, you can compare the PQ points yourself via a loadback process.

Keep us posted, Jacek, sorry for your troubles.
