I thought I needed an amplifier as the DVD player has more cable and works fine. But with this little repeater, booster, amplifier sitting inline next to the projector the system is working as long as I use my audio stripper to drive the line at the computer end. The HDCP splitter will not drive it. I bought a new splitter that claims it can drive longer runs just to see. These boxes are all cheap, all under $20. My old splitter that worked great for 720p but not for 1080p was $350. It had the advantage that it would allow a DHCP DVD player to work with a non DHCP projector and as at the time my projector was non DHCP and my DVD player was broken it was the cheapest solution. </div><div><br></div><div>Just a note. The $20 audio stripper passes the HDMI and strips off the audio and sends it to my preamp over an optical cable. That solved the problem that my new setup would not put out both HDMI and SPDIF audio at the same time.</div><div><br></div><div>Allen</div></div></div>
