Hi studio64
Yes, it's the same soundcard.
Not just the sound it's warmer and dynamic in Cubase Sx, but the high sounds in combination of chords in FFF get no distortion like in the Stand Alone.
From my perspective the Stand Alone Pianoteq have a quite inferior sound compared to Pianoteq VST plugin on Cubase SX.
I would like to post a FXP I did to get bether loud FFF in Cubase SX. I would like to ask the members here to try this FXP in Stand Alone and on Cubase.

On Cubase I set the sound to maximun volume and let Pianoteg plugin volume as reset. The velocity curves adjusted this way, for me, turn Pianoteq dynamic bether to get really powerfull FFF strikes.
On Stand alone and without this velocity adjust, honestly speaking, there was almost no difference from MF or F to FFF, for single keys strikes.
I checked my controller, Roland digital piano, and keys sensibility was ajusted to heavy, and the velocity was ok on the velocity graphic, getting all the graphic range, with only really hard strikes getting FFF. So wasn't any problem from the controller.
I don't know if the velocity graphic adjust FXP it's just correcting the difference from my controller velocity natural curve to Pianoteq natural curves, or if Pianoteq really have weak F to FFF strikes for single keys, and the velocity curve adjustment it's only making the lower velocities less louder to get the feeling that F to FF is geting loud.
Impostrant: Remamber to test, the dynamic I refer abou,t also for single key strikes. For chord strikes or other multiple keys strikes, the dynamic wasn't that bad without velocity curves special adjust. Strange thing...
Waiting your, forum members, kind feedback ;-)
