Its entirely possible that some of the differences I heard were because of receiver settings. Im just really starting to learn about the characteristics of speakers and components. The salesperson tried to set them as closely as possible so we could get a true A/B test (at least as much as a Circuit City music room will allow). The salesman, my wife and I, all agreed that there were noticable differences between the digital and analog receivers.
I guess on thinking back and reading your description Alan, I am less inclined to say it sounded "better"...it was just "different". I prefer the sound of the digital receiver, but it might indeed by technically inferior?
