A related question:

My Oppo 971H is finally on order. It will be the only compnent I have with a DVI/HDMI connection, so I assume keeping the signal path as simple as possible and reducing unncecesary cabling is the best way to go. Therefore, for the video portion, should I just cut out the 970 from the food chain altogether and go right to the HDMI input on my TV? I'm not sure what value using my 970 as a throughput for this application would have.
