After listening to my music as files stored on a hard drive connected to the rear USB port of the Oppo for a few years I recently gave the USB asynchronous DAC a try.I found the difference between the two to be quite significant.

The good news is, of course, that it is highly unlikely to make an audible difference, and even if it does, it will be for tv broadcast/cable sound which is never particularly good as a source. Getting the bluray audio directly from th eplayer into the amplifier would surely be a better way, if only because you can play the audio without turning on the screen.

Timing with HDMI is less accurate than asynchronous USB. HDMI's TMDS transmission system is typically a unidirectional synchronous system like S/PDIF. The clock (unlike S/PDIF) is actually separate and runs at 1/10th the usual digital data speed I believe.
