Soon after buying my amp last year I was very disappointed to find out the amp HMDI socket are only switchers and it does not deal with HD audio via HMDI. I have ordered the Panasonic DMP-BD55 Blue-Ray which will come mid next month.

Is there a notable difference between HD sound through coaxial or HMDI, is worth changing the amp for this reason?

System: Sony KDL 40W2000 TV, Sony DA1200ES Amp, Sony DVD recorder HX825, Monitor Radius R270 AV12 Speaker package, QED HMDI-P amp – TV and DVD recorder to AMP, QED Performance Digital Coaxial recorder to amp, QED silver Anniversary XT speaker cables, QED Qontour MP-SW Sub cable. Ordered Panasonic DMP-BD55

No need to. Just buy a bunch of analogue interconnects, and feed the audio from the Panasonic's multichannel analogue outputs to the corresponding inputs on the Sony. Let the player do the decoding and the job, as they say, is a good 'un.

You can't get HD audio with coaxial. You will need to buy three pairs (if you have a 5.1 set up) of analogue (stereo interconnects) and connect them from your amp's multi channel out to the BD55's multi channel in. This will give you flawless sound.
