It wasn't until AAX-DSP that they were on par with each other where the DSP engine had the same processing depth.

just "as well" , never worked with an old 32 bit computer and a Vst d.a.w. ?
(when the number of plug ins usable depended by the cpu power , and in which more tracks were added and worse it sound )
if a session song require more dsp processing power than that you have on your d.a.w. cpu , you are in (serious) troubles…..
with a system based on dedicated dsp cards
you can add more cards…
"dynamic" digital data compression apart….
(…and related cut of sound frequencies and depth.. , including the obvious degradation of the same )

… and dynamic range ?
"linear vs data compression processing"…
bit is bit : 0 and 1
if a plug in native AAX sound better than the same plug in placed on dsp HDX card ,
is only thanks to 64 bit based cpu , O.S. , and obvious speed clock …
(more speed = more fast processing , then more quantity of bits /bytes per second , though the vst do not sound like TDM and neither Rtas …)
apart the quality of the plug in algorithm , as mentioned above ...
And :
Apart that there is something (that sound) very wrong about HDX cards .
(….or Avid became masochist…)
