In this paper, we consider a downlink cell-free massive multi-input multi-output (mMIMO) system, assuming few-bit analog-digital converters (ADCs) and digital-analog converters (DACs) are implemented at the access points (APs). Leveraging on the linear additive quantization noise model (AQNM), we derive a tight approximate rate expression, which provides insights into the impacts of the imperfect quantization error and channel estimation error. Thanks to the trackable result, we quantitatively compare the performance differences between the two quantization models, namely the AQNM and the Bussgang theorem. In particular, the AQNM can offer analytical tractability for few-bit quantization while the Bussgang theorem only characterizes 1-bit quantization since the multi-bit quantization under the Bussgang theorem is difficult to deal with. Simulation results show that under the same 1-bit quantization, the rate performance with the Bussgang theorem is roughly identical to the case of the AQNM.
