Good day all

I want to upgrade my DVD player. I am currently using a $150ish Pioneer player today. I am seriously considering the Rotel RDV1060, to match my RSP-1066 and RB-976. The reviews on this unit are fantastic and I think it would make a nice addition to an almost complete system (I did say almost).

The Rotel 1066 doesn’t have HDMI/DVI out put only the standard composite, S-Video, and component.

The question; is this something that I am going to miss, do I need it? Is the picture that much better through this format? Would component out of a $1200 Rotel be comparable to HDMI out of $200 Samsung, LG or Pioneer, etc.

I am planning to live with the Rotel for a few years at least (due to the cost). Any incite would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
