Interesting. Maybe your aux cable sucks? I'll try it with my Zune later. But yes, the Zune does reportedly have a better DAC than the iPod. There's really not much of a technical reason why the Aux coming from the Zune would be worse than the USB. The basic paths go as follows...
USB/Zune
Digital Compressed > PDIM. Analog > head unit
iPod (usb)
Digital uncompressed > PDIM. Analog > head unit
Analog (with pdim)
Analog > PDIM. Analog > head unit
Analog (no PDIM)
Analog > PDIM
