Hi, 
the symptoms you descibe (Analog out OK, digital out delayed) would 
indicate that you have introduced some latency with the digital out. 
This is basically the time required by the A/D converter to process the 
analog signal. 
The only way I can see around this, would be to determine the amount of 
latency and whether it is constant, and then introduce the same delay 
in the MIDI files. This would involve playing the MIDI information into 
a sequencer, inserting a delay at the beginning of the song and then 
recombining it with the audio part (using a program like MID2CD)

DCD1 that I use with a GranTouch.  I had the DCD1 modified to add a 
digital output, which is connected to my stereo system.  When I use 
Smart Pianosoft discs (which are "DCD1 Compatible"), I have two 
problems.  First, each track starts and stops twice after a few 
seconds, and then on the third try, plays all the way through the 
song.  Second, once a track does start to play, the piano parts on the 
floppy disc are not exactly synchronized with the CD.  The piano parts 
always play a split second ahead of the CD.
