I just purchased a disc with DTS-HD (or DTS-HD MA) am I getting the full HD audio?
You must bitstream the track to your compatible receiver to get the full HD audio track. No HD DVD player can decode DTS-HD or DTS-HD MA tracks internally. The player will extract the 1.5Mbps DTS 5.1 core which is the same format found on SD DVD and output it to your receiver. The only method to get the full DTS-HD or DTS-HD MA track is to bitstream it to a compatible receiver (see method 4 above). The only players capable of bitstream are the HD-XA2, HD-A35, and DV-HD805. In addition to a bitstream capable player you will need an HDMI v1.3 receiver that has support for decoding DTS-HD and DTS-HD MA.
