The MHR allows you to connect a HD621, with all that implies (multichannel hi-res audio from Bluray, or from DVD-A/SACD via Oppo - integrated HDMI video switching - dejittering - Apodizing upsampling filters for CD or AppleTV input via HDMI).

I wouldn't have touched an 568.2 without MM because I want all of the above out of the HD621.

It also allows you to connect a Meridian DVD-A player and get the MLP decoded in the Meridian processor, but that is now a relatively weak application of the input, so to speak.

PS I paid �1200 for my MM. As I am in Euroland the weakness of the pound doesn't apply.
