The headphone out has the Space effect on by default but others don’t.
Please make sure you understand what Wheresthedug says here. The space parameter/effect only goes to Kempers headphones out per default. So to compare you need to activate it for all outputs.

I bought a COAX/SPDIF converter, and my Kemper sounds a million times better using SPDIF into my Apollo Twin instead of TRS/TS. Until proven otherwise, I don't think I'm experiencing a problem. It's just that SPDIF sounds better than analog/digital conversion.

Glad you got it sorted. If there is a significant sound difference between analog and spdif then something is out of the ordinary at least. The Apollo analog inputs can be very transparent.

Yeah, you are skipping one round of digital->analog->digital conversion. So what you're actually saying, is the Apollo analog/digital conversion and audio signal circuits are better than on the Kemper (and that more conversions reduces quality). Which seems to make sense to me considering price of the two units and what they can do. Kemper has like 4x as many inputs/outputs but hardly costs a whole lot more.
