Here's a 'data point':

On my Outlaw 1050 receiver -

Volume set to '30' (normal listening level for me) digital input - silence.

Volume set to '30' (normal listening level for me) analog input - silence.

Volume set to '60' (way too loud listening level for me) digital input - silence.

Volume set to '60' (way too loud listening level for me) analog input - nearly silent. Must be within inches to hear a very quiet hiss.
