For a long time I've been using an original PS3 to play Blurays. It's hooked up to a Sony HT-SS1300 slimline receiver which does not decode DTS-MA or TrueHD but does support multi channel LPCM. The PS3 recoginises this and does the decoding accordingly.
I want to switch to a dedicate player (that's quiet!) that can do the same thing but it looks like even the BDP-S7200 doesn't do this! That's 7 years of progress for you! Are they any other options for the same money or less that do?
The other option is maybe to get an HT-XT3 (which does handle those audio formats) to replace the 5.1 system but I'm not sure if that's a step back or not. I like the HT-XT1 I have in another room.
