Is there an advantage of running component video (RGB) signal thru my receiver other than the ability to switch between different sources?

I have Denon AVR-1804 as a receiver and wonder if it will amplify/filter/process the component video signal somehow? It does up-conversion (and down-conversion) between composite video and S-video. I only have a DVD as the only component source right now, and I can save up some money buying only one set of component cable.

Many thanks in advance,
