Disklavier

It would be helpful, for comparison, if one could simultaneously record 
a performance both internally and to SONAR3. You have surely found that 
the DKV will not support that.

To test your hunch then, you might wish to record and reproduce one 
performance internally to a DAT, and record and reproduce another 
performance using SONAR3 to a DAT.  Then, using software such as Sound 
Forge, measure the inaccuracies of the reproduced audio recordings 
resulting from the two methods.

That sounds like a lot of hard work.  I have done the first part 
(internally recorded and reproduced) to compare the differences between 
an original and a reproduced performance of single notes on a Mark II. 
That took weeks of tedious work.

Watch out for subtle biases.  For example, if you feel better about 
recording to SONAR3, perhaps you're are playing better to SONAR3.  In 
that case, the answer is simple: Don't do any testing that would spoil 
that impression; rather, savor it, and continue to record your best 
playing to SONAR3.

Did you record the test piece first internally, and then record to 
SONAR3?  Could you have been more practiced the second time?

Are you auditioning all reproductions from the same place in your music 
room? Are you in a more comfortable chair when listening to SONAR3 
recordings?

When you transfer a SONAR3 recording to diskette, does it degrade?

You're probably not crazy.  It sounds like something interesting is 
going on there.
