I would hope that if you're doing straight transfers that the quality 
of the WAV wouldn't vary among these applications as the application 
only should get involved if you're changing levels, EQ, etc. The A-D 
converter should set the quality of the initial WAV, but once you 
normalize the signal or do fades, then there might be differences.
