The capability to decode the new formats in the reciver mostly look like a sales thing more than to be actually useful at this point unless there is a difference in AQ?


I can't tell a difference between the PS3 audio as L-PCM and the BD30 to the 3808 as bitstream. About the only drawback with the PS3 outputting LPCM is sometimes discrete 7.1 get's screwed up and output as a matrixed 7.1 or 6.1

The PS3 is my favorite SACD player. I have one of the first models to be sold. Not sure which one it is, but I think it has a 20 gig hard drive. I bought it for BR and I do not play games. I still keep in on my rack and use it every once in a while. I love how fast it is.
