Well its certainly not if your analog audio path is half decent.
I have some old Adat AI3 coverters - 24bit 44.1/48 8 chan. They sound fine, steer away from in the computer DAs.

What do you call half decent? I definately wouldnt put my Mackie 1402VLZ in that category. I would though, put my Studer 169 in this category, but with old analogue, I would be introducing alot more hiss and noise into the audio, not to mention having to rebalance my mix as the line inputs are not calibrated....

Yep...thats true! Now, do you have any methods for grouping tracks..
For example, would you group all drum tracks together, all synth bass together, synth leads together etc.....does this matter?
If I were to run 4 stereo sub mixes into my Mackie mixer, could I use my stereo line channels, and keep them panned centre, or do you have to run them into mono channels and pan each pair hard left/right (or keep them centred?)
You will probably blast me for the last question, as it seems this is something I should know really...
Thanks for all the help/feedback....It is very interesting stuff..
