are you sure? Dan Ramer just reviewed the Sony at www.dvdfile.com and according to him it decodes all advanced audio codecs:

Directly from Sony's website on the BDP-S550 (same for 350)

Dolby® TrueHD internal decoding
Dolby® TrueHD internal decoding and bitstream output via HDMI™ for the Dolby TrueHD and dts®-HD (Master Audio and High Resolution Audio) codes delivers studio quality audio designed specifically for high definition entertainment like Blu-ray Disc™ movies, with up to 7.1 channels of surround sound that is virtually indistinguishable from the original studio version.

They make no comment about firmware adding this on the firmware page either.
