From what I can tell this receiver does accept multichannel PCM so it would work with a ps3.

Your Integra DTR 7.8 decodes all the HD formats, so you will probably need a player that will send the sound formats to your receiver via bitstream, the PS3 will not do this and I'm not sure since the Integra decodes whether it will accept PCM. If it does accept PCM then I don't know if it will still decode the Master DTS.

The Integra does accept PCM. So I think the PS3 is the best bet around.

I posted some information regarding audio formats a while ago. You might find it informative, or not... http://www.axiomaudio.com/boards/ubbthre...true#Post181572

Earlier in this thread we have established that the ps3 will not decode DTS Master as of yet if ever. But all other formats are decoded and sent as pcm. From what I can read of the specs and function of the Integra it does accept multichannel pcm so it would work fine.
It all depends on your priorities really, for a lot of people a standalone player makes more sense, for others the ps3 is a better solution right now.
In my case I think the ps3 is great since I don't really care for the HD formats as I don't have a receiver that can accept them or PCM and I'm not planning on upgrading yet. Also I really enjoy the gaming on it so it's a winning combination. I do expect eventually to buy a standalone player in a couple of years when it makes more sense.

The HD sound formats really are a big step above the normal sound tracks. I have yet to hear the DTS HD Master but from those who have heard it say it is exceptional. I'm happy with my PS3 and if they do decide to upgrade it so it will play HD DTS I'll be a happy camper. If not, in a year or so I'll purchase a stand alone that will.

That's exactly what I'm planning on doing. Since I won't be able to upgrade my receiver in a while I didn't try listen to the new formats so that I wouldn't be tempted once I hear how good they sound  . We'll see how long that lasts...
