DNAGEDCOM Client scrapes the underlying cM totals from AncestryDNA. AncestryDNA appears to embed the actual segment locations elsewhere beyond the reach of DNAGEDCOM Client. I suspect GEDMatch and AncestryDNA are on different builds which would explain the reported difference in total shared DNA. Also, AncestryDNA's Timber algorithm omits any shared DNA segments identified as pileups, while GEDMatch does not; this too could account for the discrepancy.
