Huge difference. I had my NAD T773 receiver hooked up to my BD player with digital coax and it sounded better than my Onkyo TX-SR705 hooked up the same way. I then purchased a BD player with 7.1 analog outputs and hooked it up to my NAD receiver and played a track with DTS-MA and couldn't believe the detail improvement. I switched back and forth for many A-B comparisons and multi channel analog with DTS-MA and Dolby TrueHD won hands down.
