Have an opportunity to upgrade from a 40GB to a 80GB PS3 = SACD. Considering it.
I am reading that "most" HDMI 1.3 AVRs will not accept the PS3 multichannel PCM output over HDMI and give the same SQ as a regular SACD player. But they are OK for the SACD in stereo. Is this true?
For instance, I read the Onkyo 605 will work fine, but the Denon 3808 would not. The 3808 would work if/when the PS3 put out DSD over HDMI.
I'm very confused. Thanks for any clarification.
