Ok, I'm no PS3 fan, but I did a little research about the SACD format playback on the PS3. It appears to be able to process the audio, but in order to enjoy the format to its fullest, you need a HDMI connection on your reciever. Otherwise its not the full monty.

Quote : "The PlayStation 3 manual says that "Audio from Super Audio CDs cannot be output from the system's digital out (optical) connector. Multi-channel content from Super Audio CDs can only be output from the HDMI OUT connector." So it appears that while Mono and Stereo SACD audio may be available from the Multi AV connector, 5.1 Surround Sound SACD audio along with Mono and Stereo SACD and Mono and Stereo CD audio is only available via HDMI. "
