Question About The Onkyo 605

[Croweyes1121]

So from what I understand, if I get a 605, it'll read everything I send to it from the PS3 as PCM due to the PS3 decoding all the HD codecs to PCM before sending it to the Onkyo? Is this correct? I just don't want to plug in the unit expecting it to say DTS-MA or TrueHD and be surprised if it reads everything as PCM.

Also, can anyone recommend one mode over the other as far as Audessey or Direct? I have read the other thread on that, but I was looking for something a bit more concrete, like "unprocessed is always better, etc."

I'm just looking for a quick set this this way and that that way out of the box and you're good to go. I already know to switch over to Linear PCM output instead of the bitstream mode I'm using now (I'm running optical to a VSX-24TX unit until the Onkyo arrives in about two weeks).

Any recommendations on great-sounding lossless Blu-rays to demo the new unit with? I really want to be blown away by lossless.
