Oh well, I will always suffer from "upgrade -its"

If your player (PS3) is doing the decoding, all your Rotel needs to do is accept PCM multi-channel and not bitstream data. My Rotel does... which one are you using?

My Rotel is the 1057. Running optical for sound and HDMI for picture. I have talked with Rotel and the dealer where I bought it and they say that it will not run uncompressed or the new HD codecs

Will the rotel not accept an audio signal over hdmi? If it can accept audio over hdmi, toss the optical cable as it is useless.

From what I have been told by Rotel and the dealer is that Rotel cannot accept audio over the HDMI. Should have done more research before I bought it but it sounded so good in the store.

But right on the website you provided, under the "Specifications" tab, in the line that says, "Decodeable Input Signals", it clearly states LPCM @ 192kHz.

Just e-mailed this link to my dealer guy and he is giving it the once over. Hey, just wanted to say thanks for all your help! I'm the first to admit I'm an idiot when it comes to specs. I am sort of s........l.....o........w. with all this. This goes for ALL the replies I have received from the Great Blu Ray Crew !

Why don't you just test it yourself. You have the gear.
