All you may need is a receiver that accepts signals via HDMI. The signal coming in at that point will be linear PCM. Unless, as Henning suggests, that the PS3 will eventually be able to send audio Bitstream in a future update. Then, you would want a receiver doing the decoding. So to future proof yourself, having a receiver that can do it all is a good idea IMO. Emrah, you may be right. All you may need is a receiver that accepts signals via HDMI.

Tho, we surely need ones that can receive high Khz and 24bit audio input, I am guessing. If ps3 will be doing the decoding, we don’t need receivers that support DTS MA, am I wrong?

As far as I can tell, they'll be decoding it and sending it out as high res PCM. But they may also add support for passing the bitstream out, which hasn't been done before now.

Dollar for dollar it is an incrdible value for any mid level or lower audio nut. Just be aware that the PS3 will be doing the decoding, not the receiver, so it will not light up indicating that DTS MA is being received. Nor will it for True HD.

Unless you're waiting for the next generation of Onkyo receivers? Or maybe you're not in North America? The Onkyo receivers are out already, and already have DTS MA.

I am waiting on the new Onkyo Receivers which should be out very soon. I do know I prefer DTS to Dolby everytime.

Does anyone actually have one of those yet? I'm still using an optical only receiver, so I can't take advantage of this yet.
