What do you get when you add the quadrature outputs of an AD9854

It occurred to me that adding the two quadrature outputs of a DDS like the AD9854 might result in an output without the image frequency component, thereby making the filtering much less critical.

In other words, with F0=100MHz, and an output set to F1, say 10 MHz, the image at F0-F1 would be cancelled out if I added the real and quadrature outputs, ignoring phase errors, etc.

Is this true?
