It depends what the digital recording is mastered for, really.

I dunno about that...I've recorded some of my acoustic guitar playing, and some electronic pieces. Some mastering exists which would make the recordings sound better than a 100% unaltered digital playback?

If you're playing in a noisy environment like a car then some dynamic range compression will make it sound better.
