Fact is, what signal path is there after conversion? The connecting cables? It's digital. 1's and 0's. If I run the exact same converters as you with LE and you run HD, the tracks will be identical. You can flip the phase and they will cancel. It's digital.
Without a doubt. But there is a long signal path before the conversion. Conversion quality is not recording quality. You said "his record quality will be equal." The best converters in the world do not, by themselves, give you good or even decent recording quality.

After the conversion, the only difference would be in the mix engine, latency compensation and plug-in quality. Each of these may be significant. The ability to deal with all routing and plug-in processing in real-time during overdubs is also a major difference.
