I rushed home yesterday excited to finally update my PS3 and hear what uncompressed DTS-MA 7.1 audio would sound on my new setup.
The only disc I own with a 7.1 DTS-MA track is Hairspray. Popped it in and went straight to the finale. Sounded nice but something was wrong. Checked the two rear surrounds and nothing, no audio. I was just getting 5.1. tried a bunch of things but could not get the back 2 speakers working.
A quick search confirmed what I was hearing. The way New Line has implemented the 7.1 DTS-MA track, which is entirely within the spec, is not understood by the PS3 and it ignores the rear surrounds during decoding. Hopefully they can fix in a future update.
