Let the ps3 decode the true hd

TrueHD does not have the capability to bitstream certian 'parts'. You either get it or you don't. DTS-MA can have 'parts'. It is built around the lossy DTS core so if you can't bitstream the full DTS-MA signal, you can still get the regular lossy core. With an optical cable and PCM settings, you will only get LPCM 2.1 due to bandwidth constraints. You will get it all with HDMI.

If your current reciever has an HDMI input, then I would not get a new one. I would simply wait until the summer for either the Panasonic BD-50 or the new Sony S550.
