	boo, only if your DAC in the denon doesn't reclock very well. the
intracacies of jitter are many, it is definitely real and it has an audible
impact.

	Have you experimented? You should use whichever one sounds best, but
one thing is for sure -- regardless of jitter introduction by using the
toslink, the burrbrown dacs are going to sound waaaaaaay better than
whatever
is in the sony. my advice would be to /definitely/ use the outboard dac in
the denon.
