The DAW benchmarks use multiple applications including Kontakt which is a critical one for many people using sample libraries.This is due to a not optimised code - there are many other applications where Ryzen 7 2700 beats i7 8700k with 30-40% and more.
A single buggy application cannot be a reason not to take the vastly superior CPU 2700X.
My system never comes close to being bottle-necked except for DAW usage so that is the only benchmark that matters to me.
So the other cases where Ryzen is better or worse have no bearing.
