Anyone not half deaf would hear the difference - I wouldn't be surprised if you haven't even heard a real DX7 next to the software. People express these strong opinions ignoring relevant factors. The DX7 is not just software and DAC. It is full of electronic components that affect the sound, not least the psu. This topic (DX7 vs FM8 etc.) has been discussed endlessly here already.
Have you heard the difference next to a mk1 dx7? I programmed a sound on both DEXED and my mk1 side by side and I was impressed at how close the sound was. It would take a braver man than me to try to pick it out in a blind test. Even the way the waves phase against each other sounds absolutely right to me.
Guess I must be half deaf then!
