You want lossless or PCM now ?!

Forget optical or Coax. You'll need HDMI capable player and Receiver (even then, I'm not sure HDMI supports fullbandwidth uncompressed PCM) and/or the source players 5.1 analog output fed through your 5.1 Analog bypass-capable receiver or pre/pro or multichannel analog preamp.

What you need is a High end source player with DTS HD MA and TrueHD decoding, plus quality DACs for the 5.1/7.1 analog outputs combined with, say a Switchman (or tubed might be better) multichannel analog preamp.
