Any Disadvantage Using DVI-HDMI Adapters?

Instead of using a cable with a DVI head at one end and HDMI at the other end, I am planning of getting a cable with all DVI heads. Will there be any possible detrimental effect of using the HDMI-DVI adapter? Will picture quality be compromised using the adapter on one of the heads?

Any advice would be appreciated.

UncleJeff,

I agree with you, I destroyed the HDMi output of a switcher for just such a reason. The added weight of the adaptor is large, and the leverage it affords the connector (read..YOU!) is also way more than these connectors were designed to do.

I for one would have liked to have stayed with a connector closer to DVI-D as it is more stable than HDMI, but that is my oppinion and worth as much!
