Yes, no, depends on the rest of everything else.
Personally? I find adding gain using a properly calibrated analog chain to be superior - When I have a track at -10dB(FS)RMS, the analog chain is sitting pretty at 0dBVU. Hardly breathing.
But then, of course, it's a matter of getting it back ITB while doing as little damage as possible... The gear that's adding the gain, the converters (out AND in), everything is going to be able to take the heat.
