No we are not.

CD is a lossless audio optical disc format which delivers 2.0 audio at 16-bit/44.1kHz. BD is an audio video optical disc format which can deliver up to 7.1 audio at 24-bit/96kHz (I believe, though it could be 192kHz at 5.1). The last bit of numbers is crucial for your understanding.

If your receiver has Digital-Analog Converters (DACs) that can only manage to do 96kHz and you get a BD player that converts the TrueHD or DTS HDMA tracks that are at 192kHz, you're not getting the full resolution. That's what it means.

So if you can afford it now, get the new receivers with the decoding capability. Like somebody else have said, maybe the PS3 won't be the only BD player on the rack.
