Please could you explain this further. Are you talking about a system such as a BD player (eg Oppo 93EU) connected to a processor (eg 861v6) via SPDIF using a DSP such as Direct? And that by having a HD621 connected (turned off?) this degraded the sound?

Its your use of the term "simply having the HD621 connected" that is confusing me, but I don't want to read too much into a mere form of words.

Thanks
