In Reply to: Is HDMI interface better than the old S/PDIF for digital audio ? posted by beppe61 on April 8, 2007 at 05:01:26:
.... I have read that this link (which is being continually revised, causing matching problems in some cases) is subject to an increase in jitter. So, although it reads well on paper, it does not appear to be a good idea for those interested in good audio. Interestingly, Meridian refuse to use it on their projector and stick with DVI - sensible as a projector requires a separate audio system anyway.My take is that HDMI is like a lot of hype associated with current video. It is being touted as the "ultimate" connection and, for many who use crappy audio systems with their latest plasma etc, it probably is as it makes connection simpler.
The advertising spin doctors are having a field day touting "digital", "High Definition", "plasma", "HDMI", etc etc as the latest and greatest that anyone with any aspirations for good taste and quality will aspire to. Many of the sales people are no better and do not know what they are talking about to customers. If digital audio is a maze then digital video is a jungle!
