SACD, PS3, AV receiver and tube amp

I would like to determine the quality of ps3's sacd capability. The PS3 is connected via hdmi to my onkyo 606 avr because its main function is blueray playback. Does anyone know if the ps3's sacd capability is worth fiddling with? If it is, what settings should I use to get the best signal out of my avr and into my two channel cayin a50t integrated amp?

It definitely is worthwile. The settings are mostly a matter of taste though I'd say Bit Mapping setting 3 has generally generated the most favourable reviews. There's a handy FAQ about SACD on PS3 at PS3SACD.com.

If I were you I'd try multichannel SACD through HDMI on the Onkyo rather than stereo SACD but again that's personal.
