The new audio formats, DTS-HD Master Audio and Dolby TrueHD, will not transmit via TOSLINK. The player, depending on what soundtrack is available, will send either DTS -- lossy -- or Dolby Digital -- lossy -- over TOSLINK for surround output. The new audio formats need HDMI for lossless transmission.

"When I upgrade to HD Audio, do I then throw away all that Toslink stuff that I have invested in??)"

No. You either sell it to recoup a few $ or give it to someone. And that goes for the DVD player as well.
