Sound card driver implementations and memory management do exactly nothing for the sound unless they are somehow seriously broken.
They are only ment to transfer samples, they do not actually do anything to the data they transfer.
Plugin implementation would be depending only on the CPU architecture.
So a TDM plugin nessesarily works differently from a VST plug.
Build-in plugins are of course completely dependant on the DAW manufacturer and are a comparison all of their own.
Summing has been shown to be identical in most DAWs.
Differences in dither algorithms between DAWs are hard to tell.
So, what's left that we can blame?
Maybe it's the precision of the automation.
Thats just about the only thing i can imagine apart from the workflow.
