There are none except for the fact if the if the input signal has variations in value, with no filtering, the digital readouts can become a guess to read.
Analog meters will average these variations as a wiggle of the needle so that the reading changes in a slower manner which is easier to read.

SteveElectronics have greatly evolved over the years and the current trend is towards digital being preferred by many. The digital instrument tones are far more accurate than analog, and need less maintenance and regular tuning, in fact no tuning at all, ever. Sounds that are digitally sampled have all of the harmonics of each note in the sample being heard, a feat that analog electronics cannot duplicate.

How are digital aerials different from analog ones?
Digital aerials get a better quality of picture than do analog aerials. in addition, digital aerials can get high definition signals over the air,where analog aerials cannot.
Advantages of hybrid modulation over digital modulation?
presentation of analog digital hybrid modulation
What are the advantages of digital modulation over analog modulation?
1)digital modulation can easily detect and correct the noise. where as analog modulation has little complexity 2)security is more in digital modulation 3)digital modulated signal can traverse a long distance compared to analog modulation
What is the difference between analog and digital data transmission?
This is essentially the same question as the difference between analog and digital. With analog electronics a voltage is used to represent (or to be an analogy for) some physical attribute in the real world. So for an analog transmission, at its simplest, a sound signal (say) is converted to a voltage, the voltage sent down a cable, then at the other end the voltage converted back into sound with a loudspeaker. With a digital system, the physicial attribute is measured and sent as a series of numbers, the numbers being converted to binary. For a digital transmission, the sound signal is converted to a series of numbers, sent as binary, and converted back to a sound signal at the other end. The advantages of digital is that it makes multiplexing much easier - making it easier to put many signals down the same physical cable. It also makes compressing the signal much easier - this is particularly effective for digital television transmission; 30-40 digital channels can be sent over the same bandwidth as 4 or 5 uncompressed analog channels. Also, digital is much more resiliant against noise - the digital receiver has to make a decision about each bit - is it there or not; noise can be pretty extreme before this becomes impossible, with analog, once noise is added its very difficult to remove it. The historical disadvantage of digital is that digital encoding and decoding equipment was expensive compared with the analog. Over the last 10 years or so, digital electronics has become much cheaper and more powerful.
What are the advantages of digital communications over analog communication?
Using analogue communication from a digital interface requires some kind of converter to convert your digital data into analogue before it can be sent. This data needs to be converted back into digital by the receiver. Hence a larger amount of work needs to be done. eg: the VGA cable used to connect a PC to a screen is a analogue cable. So all the video signals that are sent out by your PC are converted to analogue first. Hence there is a larger amount of work done. There is also a chance of data being lost during this conversion. If the source signal and the output signal are digital, then there is no conversion required and resulting work required is less. This also means that the receiver doesn't need to convert this data. Hence work done is less and data loss in conversion is also minimal. Although transmitting digital data over long distances also results in some amount of loss. eg: video signals transmitted through DVI or HDMI cables are purely digital. A PC or Blu-Ray player connected to a digital screen using any of the above interfaces doesn't need to convert the signal before sending it. Hence data loss is minimal and resulting picture is sharper and accurate.
