 I dont know what quality the DA's are in the PS3 but its usually better to have the receiver do the decoding. The Onkyo 705 is defiantly a good choice. |
The Onkyo needs raw bitstream audio sent to it for it to decode. The PS3 does not output raw bitstream. Besides the D/A convertors are used in the receiver anyway if it gets decoded multichannel linear PCM input. The PS3 will send TrueHD decoded to lossless LPCM on to a receiver that can accept audio input via HDMI. Any version of HDMI (1.1, 1.2 or 1.3).
The player's audio D/A convertors come into the playback process when you use the player's audio analog outputs (stereo, 5.1 or 7.1) to the stereo or multichannel analog inputs of the receiver (AVR/Pre-Pro) being used.
