If you set the HDMI to "bitstream" it decodes the TrueHD and SACD to multichannel PCM.

If you want to compare you simply switch to the companion DD track.

If you're hooked up to optical it outputs the companion DD track (even if TrueHD is selected) and downmixes the SACD to 2 channel PCM.

So, with the PS3, set both outputs to bitstream. You do not need a HDMI 1.3 receiver to hear the TrueHD lossless soundtrack.
