External DTS decoders...

I was wondering if I'd be able to get a decoder that would make it possible to play DTS HD and Dolby TrueHD once I get a PS3 and start watching Blu-Rays. Is it possible to play that through my 7 year old receiver with the 6 channel input?

You need 8 channels for the full boat, otherwise you might as well stick with DD.

but it does have a 6 Channel input, which the manual says is for external 6 channel decoders, like DTS.

At the price it would make far more sense to buy a DVD player that had onboard DD and DTS decoding with the component output jacks (6 RCA outs). Otherwise with a separate decoder when you want to listen in DD you may be hooking your DVD player one way, DTS another, back and forth with each disk)

Like I said in the other forum, there's the Technics SH-AC500D. But, people still pay $100 and up for them on eBay.

Anyway, whatever you spend on it, it's a waste of money since you're going to need an HDMI receiver sooner or later if you want to get the most from Blu-ray (and HD DVD).
