Compared in what sense? Analog out has passed through a DAC, so by definition is an analog representation of the digital data. People claim different DACs have a "sound" (dry, clinical, warm etc ) but this is pretty subjective, and like all such things probably subject to some imagination. Do you feel you hear any problem with the analog results you're getting?
