Re: Is HDMI interface better than the old S/PDIF for digital audio ?

Howdy

One other problem I've noticed with HDMI, since it by spec provided power and ground there is no possibility of having a ground loop isolating device (hum buster, etc.) in a true HDMI connection. I had just got the last bit of hum out of my system with S-Video isolation transformers between the Tivos and the TV when I got a HD Tivo with HDMI... I'm going to use a gas discharge ground isolator at the dish to fix things right, but HDMI definitely can cause problems...
