I'm just jumping back into HT (component video was considered the best connection, since I've been in the market) and I've started looking at moderately priced pre/pro units (namely Rotel). The big negative seems to be dated component connectivity, specifically lack of 1.3 HDMI ports, or in some cases no HDMI ports.
Pardon me in advance if these are dumb questions
If your source and TV have 1.3 HDMI, what's the real need for the pre/pro to have it also since it's function is audio control?
Is HDMI functionally superior for connecting your pre/pro to a satellite box, etc.?
I've owned Rotel in the past, been pleased with performance and quality. Found a good price on a RSP-1068, but now a little gun shy thinking I may be getting something outdated.
Thanks.
