I currently run a proceed avp2, ps2 combo. Hdmi out to tv, optical out to preamplifier. I know that optical doesn't carry the lossless codes as hdmi does. I paid alot for the avp2 and am not ready to throw it out just yet.
I could buy a receiver and have the hdmi. What am I losing by staying with the optical avp2? Has anybody done direct comparisons of optical vs hdmi with the same equipment?
Basically a preamplifier to match what I have would be 5k. I don't have the money to drop. So if I wanted to go to hdmi it would have to b a receiver with preouts to feed my amp.
Any opinions appreciated.
