Not quite...
Although the PS3 cannot output Dolby True HD or DTS-HD Master Audio over HDMI as is, for decoding by an external receiver, it can decode them itself & output the audio over HDMI as uncompressed Linear PCM.
So you can get true multi-channel HD audio from the PS3... but you need an amp that can take it as uncompressed LPCM, rather than one that just takes the Dolby/DTS bitstream & decodes it itself.
No idea though why it can't output them as is... it has HDMI 1.3 after all.
