I have similar setup, is it better to use optical, or just use HDMI for everything? Never quite understood the PCM/bitstream cofiguration or logic in this. I had assumed HDMI would supercede optical link in the technology world, but maybe i'm incorrect. thanks
My onkyo receiver HDMI ports are slowly failing..know issue to many Onkyo folks... So for similar amount of money, (?) $800-$1k, what preamp/amp combo might i be looking for? Onkyo TX 706 PS3 HSU 15 Hybrid speakers (w/ VTF15 subwoofer) Samsung 57" LCD
