Does anyone know if it is better, worse or no different to use the S/PDIF over analogue output?
Depends on whether the digital out has a perfect response. Using analog allows a calibration file to be created that corrects the analog response to be perfectly flat. There is no cal file when using digital. If it drops off at 10Hz by 5dB for example, then a subs response at 10hz will be down much.
