Ian,
AFAIK the [dac~] object auto-sums all its inputs, as well as [outlet~] and some other sound objects. If you have a stereo sound card [or only two channels out of PD to someplace else, i.e. via JACK] then all [dac~] objects should sum to the same two channels. So the answer to your question is, no, there should be no difference between the patches you describe.
that help?
best, derek [who is seeing the bridge between Graz and Riga right now: http://gollum.artefacte.org/ !!!]
