Samplitude does have a surperior sound stage and it's prety obvious.
Reminds me of the types of different tape I use BASF or GP9 and they do sound different. Quantegy GP9 was more 3d and cleaner and Ampex sounded more lo fi and more colored.
As with Digital land Samp is more like GP9.
What really gets me is that I can't believe there are people out there saying that DAWs all sound the same.
I come from experiance of recording with Nuendo and Samplitude for many years.
I'm not sitting with the and trying test and importing files.
I have used both extesively and done dozons of albums and they obviously sound different.
I have done and a/b of my band and recoded it live in the studio. Drums/elec Git/Bass.
One tracked in samp the other in nuendo.
I mix on a console so my daw is dead flat. I stem 16ch out via DA16x
It was a great A/B and much better than Lynn Fustons DAW test.
I dunno I've used both for years too. started with Samp in 1995. Cubase
since the 'vst' versions. Both have come a long way. I do feel Nuendo/cubase are better all around but you can't deny the transparent sound quality of Samp vs Nuendo it's obvious. I'm not sure what exactly nuendo does whether it's in the summing or some limiter somewhere but it is not pure when playing in real time.

Bouncing may be another story but real time playback in Nuendo is funky. It also seems the more tracks you add the quality gets even worse.
