I'm considering upgrading to a TX-SR706. ? It has more power, and more

A couple of questions:
a) is there a substantial diference in e.g., DVD audio over HDMI, vs.
a pair of RCA cables?

Much easier to apply bass management, speaker calibration, and DSP consistently across
formats, if the input to the AVR is digital, so: ?advantage HDMI.

Would all that apply if he's using it for 2.0 stereo?

Yes, all except the bass management. Delays, level, digital room EQ can still apply.
