| Re: Considering the PS3 for my Blu-ray player...
So far only the newer HDMI 1.3 AVR's have implemented dts-HD MA audio codec decoders. They need a HDMI 1.3 HDM player that will output raw bitstream over HDMI in order to decode the new audio codecs in the AVR.
As to which is best (decoding in the player or in the AVR) -- really not a significant issue except that players do not have 7.1 decode or dts-HD MA yet. IIRC Samsung has promised better (more complete codec choice) decoding with a firmware update for their HDM players.
