Let $\pi:X\rightarrow S$ be a proper morphism of schemes over $\mathbf{C}$ and $\mathcal{E}$ a vector bundle on $X$ with a relative flat connection $\nabla_{X/S}$. Is it true that the determinant line bundle of the de Rham cohomology
$\det\mathbf{R}^\bullet\pi_*(\Omega^\bullet_{X/S}\otimes\mathcal{E},\nabla_{X/S})$ is isomorphic to the determinant line bundle of the Dolbeault (Hodge)
cohomology $\det\mathbf{R}^\bullet\pi_*(\Omega^\bullet_{X/S}\otimes\mathcal{E},0)$?

Heuristically, the determinant line bundle behaves like the Euler characteristic, which does not depend on the differential. What is a reference for such a statement?

Determinant line does not depend on the differential

Let $\pi:X\rightarrow S$ be a proper morphism of schemes over $\mathbf{C}$ and $\mathcal{E}$ a vector bundle on $X$ with a relative flat connection $\nabla_{X/S}$. Is it true that the determinant line bundle of the de Rham cohomology $\det\mathbf{R}^\bullet\pi_*(\Omega^\bullet_{X/S}\otimes\mathcal{E},\nabla_{X/S})$ is isomorphic to the determinant line bundle of the Dolbeault (Hodge) cohomology $\det\mathbf{R}^\bullet\pi_*(\Omega^\bullet_{X/S}\otimes\mathcal{E},0)$?
