I'm not disappointed with the Mac in the slightest - its just you pay through the nose for stability. But crashing on stage is not something I could risk.

I've seen some weird audio conflicts on my PC, but trying to wrap my brain around what would cause a conflict between GPU and ASIO drivers.. There was a time with PCs where we had to deal with one card wanting a specific interrupt request or something but those days disappeared a long time ago. Anything you can describe is appreciated.
My Mac Mini for whatever reason, "sounds better" with same VST synths (meaning headphones plugged into the Mac audio vs plugged into the speaker headphone port on the PC) but there are too many variables there (specifically the sound card, settings of the driver, and the speakers themselves on the PC, the port etc) that I did not come to any conclusions there. I will say the novation KB pressure modulation seems to just work in a way thats more musical in Logic on the Mac, and feels more like a standalone hardware synth in that regard, but that's really talking DAW behavior out of the box (I think FLS doesnt pick this up until you map it for whatever reason).
But if you load a midi file into DAWs on either, using same synth (Zebra or Dune for example) and output to MP3 of course the end result is identical on either.
