I've read in one post (don't remember which one) that the 1000 does sound "darker".
So I tried a little experiment - I've choosen some samples that have a quite broad freq. spectrum.
Played on my pc (RME card) and checked through the Spectrum analyzer software - the signal was quite from about 50-20000 hz.
downloaded the wav file into my mpc and played it back through the analog converters into my rme card - it had a significant drop around 16000 hz.
playin' it back with the spdif - not so significant drop around 16000 hz - but still different!
The spectrum of the SAME sample was more even when played from the pc.
The playbacks from my pc & mpc where always a little different - even on the straight digital side.
So I would guess it's not only the converters - but also the "sample/audio-engine" that makes a difference.
Because I only know the mpc1000 - can't state which one sounds "better".
