If what you are asking for is bitstreaming of Dolby TrueHD/DTS-HD Master Audio, the PS3 is not going to support transfer of the advanced audio codecs undecoded: the HDMI chip in the PS3, though v1.3, doesn't support this feature. However, right now the PS3 will decode Dolby TrueHD and send it via HDMI as PCM for up to 8 channels. Word from a Sony insider is that the PS3 will receive a firmware update to do the same for DTS-HD Master Audio, but I believe this will happen after the PS3 is made Profile 2.0 compliant.
