Vince I know this option looks promising for HD-DVD players, but does this PCM option exist for Blu-Ray players yet? If so which players (all but PS3)? Hey George, No reason why Shawn's 3x SPDIF board wouldn't work provided that the player in question decodes the HD audio codecs internally and passes the multi-channel out on HDMI as PCM. Insofar as why the PS3 is a nonstarter- Google "PS3 disassembly". The PS3 case is crammed! I doubt you could fit a housefly inside a PS3 chassis much less an additional circuit board! The PS3's other drawback is the racket it makes. Any sonic benefits of a hi-res digitally connected PS3 would be soundly drowned out by its fan.  I just purchased 35' pairs of Blue Jeans HDMI and Toslink cables to move my PS3 and equally noisy Xbox 360 off the gear rack and into my an adjacent closet! Happy Trails! Vince@Freewheelcycle.com
