Which is why I drafted several dozen people from all over the globe to try to get to the bottom of this issue. We tested 17 different DAW/computer/OS alternates in order to hopefully put this issue to rest.

We didn't determine what causes the differences that we observed between some, but we did find that most sum identically. The others which wouldn't were broken.

If anyone is unfamiliar with the tests that TRS and Allen referenced above, there's a great deal of discussion here:

And the files are available here if you want to do your own listening.

NOTE: The files are not available for free. If you don't want to hear them, you don't have to pay for them.
