I always used digital because it was easier for me, but honestly the best thing would be to hook it up and test it both ways and see which way you prefer.

I was using digital for about 2 years before I realised I was wasting my sound cards DAC, the DAC on the z-5500 is bad, use analogue unless you are running an old onboard.

The difference is significant.
