Home Digital Drive

Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

I thought that a composite cable when used as a coax interface was "digital"

I use this for audio only. I do use component cables for video.
There are many problems with HDMI cables as I see it
1) if you use HDMI to the TV, you also get a un needed audio signal there (You want the receiver to do the decoding to get separate audio signals to each speaker)
2) the HDMI connection was designed poorly and comes out to easily
3) Some receivers are "pass trough" only, or worse yet, onlyfor the audio signal. You want the receiver to do the decoding for separate audio signals.
4) I do not like the trend of newer Blu Ray players have of only having only an HDMI jack...I like choices
5) People like to buy receivers or amps with HDMI jacks. Why? The more components a signal passes through, the worse it becomes.
