However, if plain analog equipment does sound better than digital equipment or not is off-topic. Still important is, that even digital gear at some point converts from/to analog and apart from the quality of the converters, the quality of the digital gear's analog domain does matter a lot. If you want to experience a high class headphone amp, listen to the headphone output of a RME card and compare it with another good headphone amp, fed by a digital output of a the same RME card or by a balanced or unbalanced analog output of the same card. Usually the result is that clear, that there's no need for blind or double blind tests.
