Sound difference in DAW's ?

[BushmasterM4]

Ive read, where some people say that if you load up the same tracks in different DAW's on the same PC, use the same hardware and monitors and press play, each will sound different. I find it hard to believe. Anyone ever do an actual test ? Its all digital. I can see where different hardware would effect the sound. But not software. Let me know if you know anything to back up such a claim.

except for the few known broken points in some apps, noone can back up the claims

this subject comes up at least once a week, type "summing" in the search box

absolute bullshit... the closest thing to a difinative answer can be found at a site called 3db... big time nashvegas guy... he has cd's available that compare most of the stuff on the market...

Or this one, which doesnt require you to buy anything and had tighter controls resulting in identical files for the most part (click me)
