Yes it can, you have to shut PCM over HDMI off completely.

You can't set the PS3 to do DD bitstream and HD formats with one set of configuartions settings. If HD621 can pass it you can change settings.

Oh yeah, I have run into situations when fiddling with those settings that I had to shut the PS3 down to get new settings to take. I forget what the exact situation was but it was in that area.

Even if HD621 does pass bitstream it is not worth the headache of switching back and forth on the PS3. The PS3 seems to go a good job decoding both. Just leave it and enjoy.

You lose apodizing/upsampling of HD621 if you pass bitstream anyway. Most go to great lengths to decode externally so that can do stuff like that.

If you think listening to music is fun, try learning an instrument.
