So if in the future the PS3 has the ability to decode it onboard then it will probably transmit it over PCM as well. If it in the future has the ability to transmit the DTS MA track over HDMI you would need a receiver and a v1.3 compliant HDMI cable to transmit and decode it from the PS3.

Cheers zaphod, That expanation helped me. I,ll have to check out a high quality reciever to do this. As I am into superior audio sound (Atmasphere valve amps & Genesis ones speakers ) my Theta Casablanca does not have HDMI inputs so what is available out there that offers this sort of high quality sound.
