Few more questions for ya

Does this essentially mean that a PS3 is better than a player that bitstreams?Why would you not want a player that bitstreams? Should I ever have problems than with True HD and DTS HD with my receiver if I use a PS3? Thanks once again, you've been so helpful!

The advantages of bitstreaming vs. decoding in the player is a whole 'nother discussion with advocates for both approaches, but I'm off to bed! Your receiver will certainly accept decoded TrueHD and DTS HD MA, so the PS3 should work out fine for you, provided you're willing to wait for Sony to implement DTS HD MA decoding in the PS3. As I mentioned earlier, PS3 decodes True HD right now. DTS HD MA decoding has been "promised" for later this year.
