Bryston SP-2 & HDMI

I am assembling a home theater system for the first time and recently purchased a used Bryston SP-2 as my processor. I noticed that Bryston does not include any sort of HDMI connection on the SP-2 or the video switcher they sell seperately. Can anyone enlighten me as to why this might be, and if it is a big deal or not?

Well, depending on the trade-in deal, you might consider alternative prepros that cost less.

The reason why is that this was designed before HDMI became the standard for HD audio codecs. Their new SP-3 will have HDMI.

Is it a big deal? Yes, if you expect to get the best audio from BluRay discs and, now also, SACD.
