Technical Question

I know if I use the "analog audio" outs of a CD player, the actual player is doing the DAC. If I use digital out (optical, coaxil), the receiver will do the DAC. Now, does the same apply with video? If I use the HDMI connection on a blu ray player and connect to my TV, does the TV do the actual video conversion? Just curious...If the TV does the conversion, why spend more on a top line BD player (disregarding features...just talking about video quality)?

Thanks for clarifying things. I'm probably going to order the Oppo 80

THEN.....how much difference would I see (not hear), if any, from the 80 to the 83? Basically, from what I see, the 80 is a same or step up in sound and major step up in video than what I have now. My elite 45-A universal player and elite receiver are both about 7 years old. I will have to A/B cd's (not as concerned about movie audio) with both the analog and optical outs to see if I can hear a major difference.
