While I like to go to the horse for answers all the time, I like to confirm some things from independent testing, especially since in audio this is available in magazines.
You should also check the June issue of Sound&Vision where they review 4 DVD players, Sony 530 being one of them. I don't have the review of the 7000 but this looks very good, along with the audio end.
DTS is dying a slow death. I would not agonize over it as you would not get a quantum benefit from it, just an equal benefit.
The DVD specacular music is in DD perceptual coding, therefore not lossless. The rate is around 440khz. But, DTS has its own code for the processor to recognize and pass on.
