PCM lossless vs. DD/DTS TRUE HD Lossless

[THE STUD]

Hey for you guys who have experience with these two formats, give me ur input as to which one sounds better.
AS u may have noticed the new sony bdps300 doesn't have TRUE HD (decoding so I'm wondering if I can be satisfied with the pcm which is on most of the movies I want.
just tell me which one u guys think sounds better

pcm of course since it's uncompressed

The definition of lossless is the input and output match bit for bit. There would be zero diffrence in the three.

2 question how do you get uncompressed codecs to your tuner if it does not have HDMI. I think you can get uncommpressed at least 2 ways HDMI, of course and 6 analog cables.

Do all lossless codecs sound the same? If there all a bit for bit audio transfers they should theoretically all sound all sound identical? They should?

yeah u can get pcm from the analog inputs which is what I'm gonna do when i get one,
still waiting to hear from people who actually have heard both and would know

I have run both hdmi and six channel analog from my sony bdps-1; and I prefer the six channel analog sound. It definitely sounds more rich and ambient. Especially sounds good with PCM audio.

That's how it's suppose to be, but I can notice a difference in favor of LPCM. That means onw is not lossless. I have a thread on this already in the Home Theater discussion section.
