This should answer the question, what sounds best. And the answer is?

There are many pieces of equipment not even tested, like the Studer A-827

I think the conclusion is that we all have different ears, different tastes,
etc. It's all subjective. I don't think the right conclusion is that it
was Radar!

Who is to say that if they used a different console, cables, etc., that a
different recorder wouldn't have sounded better. There are so many factors
that could change the out come. Example, somebody in a test like this could
have drank beer, had a wheat allergy, not know it and have congested ears
and sinuses and not even realize that his hearing is impaired a bit, not
to mention his thinking. I think that some of them might have been drinking???
Even different cables in this test could have change the sound a bit between
recorders.

Which DAW sounds the best is always going to be opinion to some degree.
Example, Deej pulls down his four 20' monitors out of his room and now what
he hears is different in his own room. I think DC came to similar conclusions
with his set up in the past. The perception of how a DAW sounds can change
a bit depending on too many factors.

I think it's just too hard to say what the best sounding DAW is. It is my
opinion that Paris sounds good; )

If he gets the Radar, he better get the optional yellow parka that goes with
it.

It's also unknown whether they used the same converters for all DAWs,
separate converters (and
which ones), if they were clocked to one master, and if all were in 16 or 24
bit, or mixed.

For me it's also best to listen first thing in the morning when my ears are
fresh too.
