Ah, it's probably that your tube amp makes the audio too "warm". You really need a solid state transistor amp to complement the harmonics of the digital source.
Don't forget gold-plated connectors and oxygen-free copper!
Seriously though you should try Bluetooth audio and a cheap USB sound card to see if there is any difference. There shouldn't be, since the source is digital.
You could also try a file of known quality, such as raw CD audio, or high bitrate MP3. Play on Windows and the Pi and try to do an A/B comparison.
