AMP and BD PQ

[Cortiz]

I recently bought a Sony sound bar. This is the 1st time I ever bought a sound system and I noticed that you have to connect the TV to the AMP via HDMI and then connect the Amp to the BD player( Sony S360) via HDMI as well. So my point is the player is not connected directly to the TV. In theory, doesn't that degrade somewhat the PQ of the player since it's not connected directly to the TV?

Thanks

HDMI is a fully digital signal, so there should be no loss just by passing the signal through the soundbar to peel off the audio layer. Analog video would be a different story.
