I don't have any components that can make use of the digital outs on the 950, so I haven't ever tested it. The manual is not explicit on how the digital outputs are handled; it says "If your recorder has a digital input jack, connect it to either the coaxial or optical output jack on the preamp/processor. The signal from the selected digital input source of the Model 950 will be sent to the recorder," which would suggest that the A/D conversion is available to those outputs. We also know that the analog inputs generally pass directly to the A/D conversion so the 950 can process the signal, so it's very likely that the digital output does work with analog inputs. If nobody else pops in to verify it either way from first-hand experience, a quick e-mail to Scott or Mike ( info@outlawaudio.com ) should be able to get you an answer.
