Of course when you are talking about anything versus pro-tools there is no fair comparison in software since you are stuck with such a slim choice of different converters. I think the ADAC process has a lot more to do with the sound coming out during mixing. The DA is where a lot of companies will cheap out on their interfaces. I'm not sure why this is because DA is probably the simplest part of the process.
One thing that I do think about is that during edit there has got to be a few processes dropped here and there when the load on the CPU is extreme. My logic (small l) would conclude that sound quality during edit has a lot to do with speed and condition of the computer you are recording on.

would it be lame of me to just agree with what you said about pro tools and other formats? well, i do. a friend said he a/b'd mixes in a few software formats and first told me that logic sounded best, then a few weeks later nuendo.....i couldn't hear the difference; or i'm just deaf.
