I have a similar setup, and for a while I ran both digital and analog outputs into my HT amp. Once I adjusted the input of the analog side level to be similar to that of the internal dac output, I couldn't tell the difference between the two sonically- the NAD uses Crystal Dacs I believe. Then I changed my speakers over from B&W 601s to Krix Phoenix, and now there is a noticeable difference between them - the NAD seems to colour the music more to the mid-range, than does the Squeezebox. Sometimes, as I learnt, it takes a change in some other component to reveal sonic differences in the source. So, as Radish suggests, it's whatever sounds better to you, rather than the spec or brand of the components. Hope this helps...
