My 950 is still performing flawlessly but obviously is dated. I recently ordered a PS 3 for Blur Ray and the numerous other features included. I would have been happy to use HDMI from PS 3 to HDTV and tempoaraily use Optical out to 950 for DD 5.1 until Outlaw releases their new pre-pro. From what I see Blue ray is not offering alternate DD 5.1 soundtracks. So does that mean that I will have to listen in 2 channel until I get the new Outlaw pre-pro? Below is a few words on Blue Ray audio from AVS forum:

"The PS3 will not bitstream advanced audio formats to your AVR (i.e., it can only bitstream basic Dolby Digital and DTS surround audio formats). The PS3 can decode all of the Blu-ray Disc standard and optional audio formats and convert them to multichannel LPCM and pass that to your AVR via HDMI. Thus, to get the full advantage from the superior audio formats offered on BD, as compared to DVD, you must connect your PS3 to an AVR that has HDMI inputs that can accept multichannel LPCM (most AVRs that have HDMI inputs can do this except for a very few low-end models).

The PS3 console has three types of audio outputs. The advanced high resolution Dolby, DTS and multi-channel PCM surround audio formats are only fully supported when using the HDMI output. However, if you are willing to live with just a 2-channel output in PCM (rather than the full surround sound formats) the improved fidelity offered by the advanced high resolution audio formats can be provided via the optical digital audio and even the analog audio outputs. Also Standard Dolby and DTS surround formats (as used on DVDs) can be output via the optical (Toslink) digital audio connection in bitstream format."

Anyone care to discuss?
