The mix bus is 64-bit floating point on both. There really should be no difference.

Yeah, I read the Carbon stuff and saw the coming-soon blurb. So there's a button to change a Native plugin to DSP while the rest of whatever plugins use Native - or DSP. But we've always been able to do that. So confused why I should want this? I mean, time will tell for sure.
Maybe it's to offload the mixing chores to the native CPU so the card can just run plugins?

I imagine the card will still need to run the mix engine for tracks that are routed through DSP (otherwise it would defeat the point). Running the mix engine on the CPU for non-latency critical tracks will allow Avid to deliver higher voice counts on HDX.
