This is the crux of the issue. Why is it that people get into intense arguments over this issue when, at the end of the day, this is all we can prove?
I think Lynn's test clearly shows that, when summing 11 stereo channels, with no fader movement, no panning, no plug-ins, there is no difference in the results.
What I don't understand is:
a) Why some have a problem with that?
b) Why some can assert with total conviction that there is no difference in the sound of DAWs based on the above test?
Right now, it's the best research done on this subject and it shows us very little.
