I wish I could afford the denon bluray player at $1999. It matches my 3808  However, it has no ethernet port, and I see no reason why it should cost so much... but it looks cool! http://www.usa.denon.com/ProductDetails/3749.asp

Now where is the fun in that? Athough the networking capability of this kind of defeats the purpose of the iPod for those with networks.

but that is also suspect due to it using an older chipset that may, or may not be able to EVER decode it.
Actually from what I can gather from the threads at avsforum is that the chipset won't allow the bitstream of DTS HD MA, but there's nothing that would prevent the PS3 from decoding it and sending it as pcm in theory. The question is whether it would be done or not. It works great. I have my PS3 setup to send the Multichannel PCM to my Denon 3808 and it sounds incredible.

You're talking about blu-rays that have pcm tracks on them right? As of right now the ps3 outputs the core of DTS HD:MA. I'm hoping that someday they'll have an upgrade to output itfully as pcm like all the other formats, then it would play everything.

just so i can wrap this up and get the final verdict on it. PS3 will: 1) Decode TrueHD and output it over LPCM. No quality loss in the process. 2) Will only get the core of DTS:MA and send it over pcm...so missing out there. 3) Hopefully will not catch fire and burn my house down

1)Right 2)It can send it over as bitstream dts too, but no full dts:MA as of yet. 3)Well... Being a Sony product I wouldn't bet on it!!  Talking about cooling, fans and noise I've noticed that my ps3 will stay on low speed and be totally quiet if I keep the temp below 77-78 degrees.
