Quite true Adam, but some thing in digital can affect sound even more than converters. At least I don't find any of my four audio-interfaces make a straight beat "swing" or modulate like I can make Live doing on my external plugins' audio-output so the digital messing is far more audible than the difference between the four converters.

Fredrik, I could provide you with all that informations, but we are starting to hijack the thread and I don't see much benefit in it. I made my point how sound can be affected within different DAWs from other sources than summing.

PS: The different peaks are not only due to timing-shifts, but also due to other errors happening (like I wrote before some methods cancel/phase-invert/nullify Hold, Sustain and Decay while showing different Attacks). Still some of the peaks happen because of the modulation happening from dynamically shifting attacks when playing a polyphone instrument like with the FM8 example. In these cases the polyphone voices are layered/summed differently because of the timing shifts.
