Unfortunately with the PS3, one may have to for access to lossless tracks though. I know of no other way in what I've been researching. Still, I cannot handshake with what I have as my display only allows for a component connection for the video with best resolution at 1080i.

I'll need to turn my attention to other BD players with audio analog outs. I want uncompreesed 5 channel PCM. I have heard it in 2.0 using optical on my friend's PS3 and his system and I can only image what the result would be with the rest of the channels!

I have Denon 3803 AVR with Monitor Audio speakers all the way around including a sub. For SD DVD, I have just been making a coaxial connection to my Denon DVD1920 universal player to get DD and DTS in 5.1.

Getting a BD player with analog outs, I'll be able to enjoy an upgrade in audio sound also!!

Thanks for the link! Actually, my experience to date has been that the audio for all bonus materials on my Blu-Ray and HD DVD movies work fine over HDMI. Whether it's coming through as 5.1 channels of lossless audio is another matter, but it's really the main movie soundtrack that I care about: The animated oompa loompas, picture-in-picture features and director's commentary tracks don't need full lossless perfection as far as I'm concerned.

If I already owned a very nice surround processor or receiver that just so happened to lack HDMI 1.3 and TrueHD processing, I probably wouldn't want to replace it just for that either. But I'm starting from scratch here, and the Denon 3808 and others still seem to have a full set of analog inputs, so aside from costing more, I'm not seeing a downside to getting a 1.3x-equipped model.
