How do you define "exactly"?

I don't have access to a Lexicon PCM96, but I did find some impulse responses from the Hall algorithm (posted by zmix in the reverb subculture thread) - Small Abrupt Hall preset. I thought it would be funny to see if I could match that preset from the PCM96 - the Native PCM have the exact same preset. Well, it was not possible - no matter what. With the exact same setting you have a difference of exactly 16 samples for the delay lines - the PCM Native have 16 samples shorter delay values compared to the PCM96 - you will of course not be able to compensate with larger size.

This could of course be a feature, but why is the difference this beautiful number of 16 samples? I would guess it's related to (a bug in) the block based processing in the Native PCM.

I was also unsuccessful with the matching of the output filters.
