I'm sorry if I seem a little ignorant, I don't have much knowledge in the algorithmic, programming side of things hence why I ask this question. Does it really sound better than PT HD to the majority of people? I use Nuendo at home and have been informed that the difference between it and Cubase is more advanced audio engines, however I don't know if this is true and have never noticed any substantial difference.

So, if Samplitude really is better in terms of audio quality, then this means that either they have some real geniuses working for them that are loyal to the company or other DAW manufacturers just haven't put enough resources into the audio engine.

And if Samplitude is everything that it's cracked up to be, why haven't they released a version for Mac (or have they?)

Once again, sorry for my ignorance but I would like to learn a little about this as it seems quite interesting to me.
Samplitude will probably never be released for Mac. It was originally developed for the Amiga and there is stong animosity to this day between Amiga people and the Mac community.
