Quoting marius schebella marius.schebella@gmail.com:
on the hardware side: da converters can make a difference. (is it overall true that pd runs on cheaper hardware, using cheaper digital-analog converters creating a richer, more distorted sound?).
now that is an interesting observation.
probably Pd runs on cheaper hardware (like arm-based pdas), but then i
am often using it on the HDSP-MADI card with quite good RME dacs
(though probably not audiophile)...
anyhow, i am pretty sure that pd and max use the same table-sizes and
interpolation for osc~ (ask miller to make sure), so there shouldn't
be any difference (doesn't msp's splash screen say "pure-data for max"
or something like this?)
so in the end i too believe that the only difference between the 2 in
a direct comparision would be the audio-hardware, in which case the so
called "listening test" would be rendered naught.
