It's uncompressed digital audio but it doesn't really matter. It just goes to the PDIM and from there it's analog to the head unit. It's still using the iPod's decoder/DSP so that's where the level of quality is coming from. iPods use a lackluster decoder/DSP so I wouldn't be too surprised if the one in the PDIM is better. Yea, with the aux jack it's analog one step earlier but unless you have a crap cable, you won't notice any difference.

This is the biggest benefit IMO.
