A question I wanted to ask in the other thread and links to Craig's comments above - did you try bouncing to tracks prior to any export? Or at least render/freeze synths? This would remove some variables.

Are you going through the ProChannel on the master Bus?
 
Is it set to be pre or post the FX bin?
 
That could account for a difference in what a plugin recorder would get for its input and what Sonar would export.

No bounce of tracks or freeze of synths.

I use FX in Prochannel ( pre mode ), with the Concrete limiter last in the chain
At last, Sonimus Britson BUSS plugin in the master FX bin.

This is a new render i did real time :

1. Render 1 new

2. Render 2 New 


Those should be fair to each other compared to earlier versions, since both here is a real time render / Export

1. Are there any difference at all 
2. What of those do you think is from sonar and what is from the voxengo recorder
3. If there's a difference, what separates the two

Ok seems theres no more comments on the tracks so far so here is the rendering :

1. Render 1 = Sonar Export
2. Render 2 = Voxengo recorder

Well, they're still not the same piece of music, so you can't do a truly meaningful A/B comparison. Anyway, #2 levels are a little hotter. After normalizing the tracks to the same levels, I could hear no difference. Interestingly, with the examples yesterday, I could hear a definite difference. However, after realizing today that the levels weren't matched, I went back and normalized yesterday's files and they sounded the same after normalizing.
 
So my conclusion is...digital audio is digital audio
