Reply to Any differences between using digital and analog ins/outs?

I know this question is loaded, but I was wondering what large advantages there are between using traditional RCAanalog inputs vs digital ins and outs via S/PDIF cables? I understand the digital signal is hardly touched with the latter but is it THAT much better? A lot of people still use analog even when connecting CDJs as far as I can tell.

Anyhow, this is just a small (possible) factor in a future mixer upgrade.

Thanks!
