If I buy the duet will I be able to get all channel stereo on my amp? (Ps all channel stereo plays stereo out the back speakers as well as the front. Seems like the signal that gets sent to the front speakers also gets sent to the back ones...)
I'm a bit confused about what your aiming at here. The duet connects to your amp via the RCA analogue connectors on the back of your amp, whilst your PS3 is digital via HDMI or SPDIF. Thus the amp output is chosen entirely by yourself.
I assume you mean that if you use your PS3 as a media player, the audio isn't in 2ch. stereo? To be honest, the PS3 and the XBox360 offer capability for media streaming, but the Slim Devices offers both quaility software and hardware solutions (I know I have played with media streaming on both ps3 and XBox360). If you want to listen to music, and you have a PC lying around, then buy the duet, (don't delay!) its a fab. piece of kit.
