Out of curiosity I've decided to do a simple 4-track loop using native devices and few 3rd party REs (Abl3, SPEM, Steerpike) put into Combinators. Attached you'll find all 3 projects, MIDI and combinator patches. All DAWs are at their newest version (11, 3 and 4.5 respectively), running via Asio4All at 24bit / 48kHz. In Reason hyperthreading is disabled, as it almost doubles the CPU load in this particular case.

Long story short - the differences are negligible - all oscillate between 11-14%, although Studio One seems to be the most volatile.
Also, no "Reason sound" was spotted in this test

On a serious note, thanks for doing the comparison, Antic!

No. He was joking. There is no difference in how Reason devices sound between any DAW - Reason proper included - assuming you're using the same effects or processing on them in said DAW.

It was meant to be a joke, but just in case - we've been over this and it's not a pretty sight:

They did - they're called SubTractor, Maelstrom, Thor, Europa, Dr. Octo. They have their own unique sound just like Sylenth1, Spire or RePro-1 have. The term "Reason sound" likely appeared because up until REs and lately VSTs were added everyone were using the same synths, drum machines, presets & refills.
And frankly - even if there was such thing: how would it matter for a piece of music to be good or bad? Just compare what we have now available for few $100 on a modest laptop with the quality (and size, and cost!!!) of the gear Pink Floyd, Beatles, Michael Jackson, The Prodigy or Orbital were using. Even better - look how certain gear, i.e. compressors, EQs, pre-amps, etc. - is nowadays idolised and cherished precisely due to their individual, characteristic sound…
Let's just not go there
