I've done the nulltest, and yes, it's just that.
No saturation, no this, no that, no nothing .. just noise.
Actually an analyzer software shows that there will also be more harmonics. If I remember right the normal mode gives you the first 4 harmonics and the analog mode gives you some higher than that. Usually higher order harmonics aren't that pleasant, so it's understandable that there's a separate mode for noise and that (though noise and higher order harmonics are very low in level).
