Have any of you done experiments comparing audio qualit, via HDMI to alternatives - optical, digital, or analogue? I'm wondering if HDMI audio is necessarily equal or better, or, does it depend on other factors (or inferior?). Thanks, Art
Also, for music, if you get a receiver/processor with HDMI 1.3, AND a SACD/DVD-Audio player with HDMI 1.2 that can send DSD and DVD-Audio via HDMI, the sound quality is fabulous. You can get an Oppo 980 for $169. I have it, and SACD DSD and DVD-Audio go directly to the receiver. This also allows you to do away with all kinds of interconnects.
In response to Mtrot: Correct me if I'm wrong, But I was told that Coax-Digital has a higher bandwidth than Optical. I use Coax for my home theatre 5 channel listening and it does sound better than Optical..just a listening fact....
