bitstream vs lpcm

[d.white]

I have a 250 gb ps3 slim with a yammy 663, excuse me if this has been asked before but which settings is best bitstream or linear pcm when you choose bitstream it tells you that some audio may be lost, besides seeing the cool little light on your reciever, which will give me the best audio experience, or does it make a difference.

the only difference (though some will say there is a difference with audio quality, but most cant tell) is that lpcm makes the ps3 decode the audio and send it as pcm, bitstream will make your receiver decode.

I prefer bitstream because that way, the receiver is actually doing something, hence, see its TRUE power. In other words, the source would not have to do BOTH (Video & Audio).
