Is A Dreamcast HDMI Mod Needed For The Best RetroTink 4K Experience?

When I heard the RetroTink 4K would support HDMI input sources I was excited to get all of my systems upgraded to HDMI to get the best possible experience out of them! Having done so, I have quickly realized that for many systems the experience isn’t vastly different from the original cables I had been employing before the mods. Starting with the Sega Dreamcast, I want to show you comparisons between both options and offer my opinion on the matter so you may be better informed before spending more money than you might need to. In this Video, The Black Dog Tech DC Digital, PixelFX DC Digital HW2, and Retro Gaming Cables Dreamcast Component Cables are used with the RetroTink 4K.
