I had next smaller Yamaha mixer 02r96 in the begining (same engine). Didn't like that sound and sold it. Same with PT and other DAWs.
Difference is not immediate when you compare without some tweaking levels and specially having interaction with analogue processing. Mixdream is clean and resolute what's the strength of this box.
But mixes done via analogue summing are in 100% of my production projects better final products. I don't talk about direct 100% comparisons of mixes. I tried very hard to do it all digital (less boxes, less costs, less heat), sorry.
It's simply impossible to get all vibe out of digital summing.
Why would ever one buy analogue summing if it would be same as digital (in simple solution incl converters, cables and nothing else it means at least 10k+) ?
I've already chosen 2 favorite summers and remain opet to see what's next good thing (if ever). This is right way to dig further.
