The difference is the RealTracks content.

The non-Audiophile versions contain compressed versions of RealTracks, although not highly compressed and lots of folks can't really tell the difference unless they know to be listening for differences compared directly against the uncompressed version. That makes for a much smaller distribution (about 100GB versus 1TB for uncompressed).

The audiophile version contains the source uncompressed WAV files (however, I believe they are recorded at 16-bit/44.1Khz (some folks have requested 24-bit/96Khz).

Otherwise, all the application programs and utilities are the same, all the styles are the same, all the effects are the same, and everything works the same. The difference is that you are not mixing together compressed WMA files, but WAV files.
