PS3 do NOT output dolby truehd or dts-ma in its native form to your amp. It will decode it and send it out through hdmi to your amp as pcm, hence your amp will show pcm. That's why apigogo say its working.

Yup! No need to worry. Once you get a stand alone bd player than your amp will do the decoding work.

Nope you'll only get the "core" meaning normal dolby digital or dts and 2.0 PCM through optical with PS3 (hardware limitation partly to blame) and if i'm not mistaken you won't be able to do this with stand alone bd players as well due to the limited bandwidth of the optical output.

Nope you will only get core dolby digital and dts through optical not TrueHD / DTS-MA. Irregardless how you setup you will never get get the full HD / Lossless potential as long as you use optical. You must use HDMI connection.

As i said earlier, PS3 do not bitstream the lossless audio to amp for decoding but will decode it internally and output as 5.1 / 6.1 / 7.1 PCM, hence you'll get the PCM displayed in you amp. Mind you, PCM is a heck lot better than the normal dolby digital / dts.
