Such receivers/pre-amps are likely to begin appearing around October I would imagine. None have been announced as yet.

DTS HD and Dolby True HD are not passed over optical of coax connections. DTS HD and True HD wil be delivered in two forms - the first being over an HDMI 1.3 connection, and the second being via multi-channel analogue outputs built into the Blu Ray player. For them to be passed over analogue, you would actually require a player that has the ability to decode these lossless codecs internally and none of the first gen Blu Ray Players (inc the PS3) due this year are actually going to boast the ability to do this. The players announced so far will deliver uncompressed PCM and Dolby and DTS as we already know them, and that's about it.

In your case, you'd run HDMI 1.3 from the PS3 into an amp that supports all the new codecs, and that'll be it.
That's not what the above Dolby article says at all.

It says the lossless soundtracks will be decoded by the player, and output as six or eight channel PCM over HDMI or Firewire, or - and this is excellent news - as an analogue signal over RCA phono outputs. This surprisingly decision to allow high resolution audio over analogue phono connections means that people will be able to enjoy TrueHD without replacing their existing amplifiers.
