Can someone explain?

I have the onkyo 875
And I have mine on bit stream, by using the hdmi lead to the amp it decodes the PCM track on the onkyo and sounds better than the PS3 decoding it
, but if you want to hear TrueHD you have to let the PS3 do it in LPCM because the PS3 cant send it in bit stream even with hdmi 1.3 it's down to the hardware
so it makes it into LPCM then sends it to the Amp, but like I said don’t leave it in LPCM because all you are doing is letting the PS3 do all the decoding for everything and as you have herd it’s not as good as the onkyo
