Certainly half of the Upgrade would be pointless, because it's a completely new audio section, and if using the HDMI output, that would be redundant.

I believe the TerraFirma clock would improve the sound, even from the HDMI as it is far better than the SONY clock, and sounds it. Jitter numbers are basically meaningless in context, as they are all measured differently - and it's not the DAC's jitter that we are focussing, it's the clocks jitter.

But I have no way to test the HDMI output, and certainly zero interest in buying a SONY receiver to use it when I have $35,000 worth of state of the art tube electrocnics to feed the Upgraded 5400ES analog signal into.

I truly doubt if a receiver could compete...
