vanishedDenon works pretty well but is a bit overpriced.  The first real questionis: does i do the things i currently need.  The next and more importantquestion is: will it do the things i can foresee needing.  After that =findmodels, and compare price, reliability and whatever else you want.You seem to have an unanswered need in dealing with some digital format(HDMI and SPDIF) to a box not able to accommodate them.  There areconverters, consider one of them before giving up.?-)

Just trying to minimize the "jungle".I think the HDMI RF link will do the trick.  Just so many of them tochoose from with price ranges from reasonable to outrageous... Like$129 to > $800.		                                        ...Jim Thompson-- | James E.Thompson, CTO                            |    mens     || Analog Innovations, Inc.                         |     et      || Analog/Mixed-Signal ASIC's and Discrete Systems  |    manus    || Phoenix, Arizona  85048    Skype: Contacts Only  |             || Voice:(480)460-2350  Fax: Available upon request |  Brass Rat  || E-mail Icon at  |    1962     |             I love to cook with wine.

vanishedquestionfindHmmm.  I might characterize that as high to unreasonable.  Plus i am notall that sure that the RF link will output in a form that your existingequipment can understand. =20A coworker bought a Ethernet (mp3) to analog converter for over $200.  Isaid overpriced, but it does the job.  Point an audio stream to it and =thesound comes out of the stereo.?-)
