plsssssssssssssssssss different sound while using MHR I don't think so - it either works or it doesn't. Jitter don't come into it - same with dolby dig or DTS - they are packed based protocols that do not suffer from jitter. CD (pcm) - fine - I accept cables 'could' make a difference but once its into the 861 or 568 its golden when passed to the DSP's.
