In theory, a converted DNG is "better" than a TIFF in the sense that it has not been demosaiced, so some important steps regarding color sensitivity and resolution of the sensor have not yet "interpreted" by the particular conversor used. However, according to [1], some irreversible steps are taken (in particular, black point correction), which make it "worse" than the original RAW file.
