Rdv 1060

[yog]

I have this interrogation:

Is a RDV-1060 (that i can have for 550$) plug with the DB25 port on an RSX-965 (+/-300$) to take advantage of the processor of the RDV will do a good job compare to buy an RSX1056 +/-850$ with a cheap Sony DVD that i owned?

Thank you!

I would say go with the 1056. The 1060 would be a big improvement over your Sony, but the 1056 would be an even bigger improvement over your 965.

Plus, since the only 5.1 inputs your 965 has is the DB25 connector, you will have to buy the special DB25 to 6 RCA cable needed. Last I checked one of those was around US$150 and that was for low quality cables. The DB25 connectors was one of those things that just never quite took off.

Ok.

Now i have another choice for you:

RDV-1040 (300$) plug via coax + Keep My Harman Kardon AVR 110 like PRE/PRO + RB-985MKII (5x100) (550$) as Amp?

THANK YOU!

The AVR110 doesn't have 5 channel pre-outs to run to another amplifier, so that's out.

I originally thought you owned a 965. I still say go with the 1056 and add a better 2ch amp for your fronts later. Then after that get a better DVD.

Right. :-(
So if i buy a cheap pre/pro with 5 pre out instead my HK, with 1040 & RB-985MKII?

Thanks
