But the channel strip algorithm and the buscompressor algorithm is the same. Really, it is.

They didn't measure nor listened to it to make Duende the same, they took the actual C200 algorithm code thumbsup
Yeah, but how do you know they really put the same code in? You are damn sure about something you really can't prove.
Maybe they did, maybe they didn't. Only they know, or people who can actually do a side by side comparison of a C200, Axiom & Duende.

I don't like Duende very much, which I own. I have the Waves SSL too (plus a real SSL G+). Duende sounds very boring to me, the Waves at least captures a bit of the real analog vibe. The Quad comp they [Waves] did is very good but the channel compressor fails IMO.

Lexicon also tried to make me believe the 960L is equal or better than the 480L. What a bad joke. I sold the 960 after 2 weeks with a big loss and got he 480L back. And it's not just the converters! I have AES/EBU on my 480L too, and it still smokes the 960L.
