I guess that depends on the waveforms, the way they're generated, their DACs and the DACs clock rate.

I haven't played with the ASys yet, so I can't comment on that (more later this week if I do get to play with it), but I've heard some DSP oscs running @ 44.1 that alias all to hell in the wrong frequency ranges, where "wrong" could be way up high (usually) or like the ms2000 somewhere in the middle of their frequency range. Others took the easy way out and sound really dull at low freqs.
