Meanwhile I did the Steinberg Waveleb test myself and the difference between it and the most common players is immense.

The pro editing software are lights miles ways in terms of sound quality from all any Foolbars that I tried. The fact insulting itself as it shells not be different between bits reading software player. I think in my case I had advantage over any non-pro versions because my pro editors talk directly to WDM driver of Lynx card that turn out to be even better then AISO drivers or anything else that I have seen. I think WaveLab and Samplitude are beter for sound, with SoundForge stay behind. The WaveLab is horrible for conversion – juts a nightmare.

What I think is a ridicules truth in all those views about digital recorders that unfortunately the digital recorders behave in the very same way how analog records do. Do you remember in your reel -to-reel time what we had a microscopic differences between the aliment, wearing, or pressing tape on the heads then we had the machine that did the recording played the given tape the best? Surprise, but I see the same with recording software.

With my completely multiprocessing Lynx interface I can run Rohde & Schwarz tuner via Lavry Gold to one Lynx input and then Sansui tuner via Pacific to another Lynx input. Since WaveLab can’t run two instances at the same machine (stupid!!!) I am forced to use to use another recorder, mapping WaveLab to read one Lynx channel and let say Samplitude to read other Lynx channel. So, I have the same live FM program record twice at the same time. Knowing the sonic difference between the Rohde & Schwarz and Sansui TU-X1 and knowing the sonic difference between Lavry Gold AD and Pacific it is not difficult to extrapolate the sonic differences between digital recorders.

For somebody who did not do that experiment I would reports and if somebody would tell it to me then then I would not believe. The major different in the setting described in the paragraph above is not in the tuners and not in the A/D coders but in …. digital recorders.  The sonic difference between WaveLab, SoundForge are Samplitude if larger than the difference between Schwarz and Sansui or between Lavry and the Pacific. How absurd is it?!
