Doesn't the resolution of digital audio fall with volume? Perhaps i've been mislead somewhere, but wouldn't that have a direct effect on digital depth of field.
I suspect there is a greater degree of Bias going on. I use to be part of the "ITB is great" camp but since buying my first large format console im not sure anymore. Right off the bat stuff started sounding better when mixing through the console. Like everything on this board, we have to defend our purchases for peace of mind.
What sounds better? Who cares use what you want to use... don't lose to much sleep over it.

Nobody has convinced me that there is anything intrinsicly wrong with summing in the box. Sure, external analog summing adds noise, distortion and phase smearing - and these may be very desirable. But that is an effect, seperate from the actual summing issue.

I fail to see how this can be seperate? It is not possible to sum via analogous means without a degree of distortion or "mathematical discrepencies". It has to be part of the issue entirely. What happens in an analogue circuit can be expressed via mathematics but that doesn't nessecarily mean that the mathematical result will be the same as the real-life measured result.
I've built several circuits that are identical in everyway. Same components, same layout, etc, etc but the chances of the same measurements (ie voltage, current, power) being taken across every circuit is beyond remote. They might be close, but rarely (if ever) are they exact. This is the nature of an analogue circuit, it isn't possible to add this as an "effect, seperate from the actual summing issue".
