Will there be any Blu Ray Players available with onboard sound decoding for Dolby TruHD And DTS HD Audio ?
Hi cinemagary.Will there be any Blu Ray Players available with onboard sound decoding for Dolby TruHD And DTS HD Audio ?
No,
With the latest firmware the PS3 will decode / transcode all formats including DTS HD-MA at the full bitrate to multichannel PCM over HDMI. You can get full lossless audio with a PS3 and any amp which can accept multicchannel PCM over HDMI.

The PS3 doesn't have HD onboard decoding. It will just pass HD formats over HDMI to feed to an external decoder.
The PS3 transcodes HD audio formats into PCM to bitstream over HDMI, including DTS-HD MA (with the latest firmware).
Basically the upshot is, you will need a standard HDMI amp with PCM multichannel support for HD audio with the PS3.
