I have an NAD T753 which as no HDMI inputs or outputs. My new HDTV receiver has HDMI outputs and both optical and coax dig out. Is the best solution, rather than waiting for NAD to have HDMI ins and outs to run the HDTV receiver to the monitor and the dig out to the receiver? Also is there any signal breakdown when connecting DVD player/HDTV receiver to the A/V receiver with the A/V receiver connecting to the TV via composite?
Thanks!

I think you mean component- not composite.
Composite= red, white, yellow Component=Red, Blue, Green
There is no real answer for your question. Some receivers do a better job than others. Personally, I use the receiver for the video switching 90% of the time. I just think that it makes the system easier to use.
Some people like to use the TV for video switching.
The best thing to do is try it both ways and see. Then you'll know.
I personally can't see a signifigant difference in HDMI, DVI, Component. But others will disagree with me.
On the other hand I had a hard time hearing better quality sound from Cd's as opposed to casettes

HDMI and DVI are essentially the same... it's just that HDMI has digital audio built-in to the same cable and uses a different connector.
I have my HDTV receiver hooked up direct to my TV via DVI, and audio going to the receiver direct via coax digital. I have no sync issues. My DVD player goes direct to the TV via component, digital audio to the receiver, while other S-Video and composite sources switch only through the receiver.
Just going by the "the less connections the better" rule, I'd say go direct to the TV where possible for video, and direct to the receiver where possible for audio. Of course, this works best if your devices support discrete input codes and you have a remote that can automate everything.
