I have connected Super Nintendo and Nintendo 64 to my flat screen. Currently I am connecting the composite to Scart head, which is connected to Scart to HDMI converter.
I found a RCA to HDMI converter.
I know that the biggest problem with the quality is the RCA cable itself, but having a Scart and multiple conversions sounds like a unneeded loss of quality to me.
Also, the RCA to HDMI has usb power, which might indicate an amplification. The brand of the converter is Teorder.
Should the RCA to HDMI have better quality than my current setup?
If you have better ideas for connection, feel free to introduce.

The yellow-RCA is Composite (1ch), which is not as good as S-video (2channel - both are analog). You may need to replace the s-video cable(s) (most are DIN but SCART and DVI also support s-video), then convert to HDMI if necessary and follow up here as I'd be curious to know if you can see the difference.
If you're in the US then you probably have an NTSC system whereas PAL units were sold in the EU. Their associated SCART had different pinouts. The power is because your adapter basically has a little computer (IC) in there, and there's no 5v power from RCA. The distance of HDMI is actually shorter than analog but it has no loss (or less loss, I know some people recognize interference in longer hdmi runs but for the most part it either works or doesn't).
