If we can trust Dolby, TrueHD will decode to PCM

and the process is lossless.

This does not ensure that we cannot hear a sideeffect, like PSU loaded by pocessing power use, and analog amps suffering. Or calculations might clip in the digital domain, or jitter might raise its ugly head.

But in principle, TrueHD, dts HD MA and PCM give out the same bits to the DAC.

So I think Dolby True HD is OK, and dts HD MA is better, simply due to the preset choices.

But care in mixing and transfer seems more important to me.
