The Quality Will Be Exactly The Same, Since HDMI Is Just Basically Dual-Link DVI+Audio (If There Is Audio Enabled/Connected) With Slightly Higher Bandwidth (Due To Digital Compression) With A Smaller Diameter Cable.

doesn't really matter as the signal is identical for both. The only difference is that HDMI support up to 1920×1200p60, same as DVI, only dual link DVI supports higher

I thought HDMI is identical to single link DVI+ Audio.
