this is more audiophile-level woo.
virtually nobody alive can tell the difference between a good digital recording and an analog one. those who think they can will rarely (if ever) agree to double blind testing.
there can certainly be things about analog equipment that are hard or impossible to capture with a digital equivalent.
but to claim that the recording process is the source of audible differences? even if this might have been true of the earliest days of commercial digital recording, it isn't true anymore.

I have the reissue D from Moog, and in general lots of Moog products and zero from Behringer so from that perspective ...I find the idea of comparing a digitally recorded analog synth to another digitally recorded analog synth to be a flawed way of looking at things. I couldn't tell a digital piano recording, from a real Steinway recording neither though piano is my main instrument.However imho, the magic of analog synths, compressors, eq, effects, and real piano comes alive before hitting the converters. After the converters so much is lost.IOW a double blind test of two of these synths in the same room before the converters, is the only way I would try to compare these things. Like in a music shop back in the day.I may be snowflake, but after many years of collecting gear and moving it across continents a few times as a former expat I find build quality to be of utmost importance. I bought a $600 road case for the D, and since the originals from the 70's still are in high demand I expect the same from the Moog reissue. The new Behringer longevity is TBD. Life is too short for me to go down the Behringer path ymmv.That being said, I have no doubt the Behringer D is a huge step up from the plugins - best I can tell that is good enough reason to buy things for most people.Robert
