Good new.  My PS4 Pro should arrive through the mail into my hands at home some time tomorrow.  :::Hears Loud Applause from most of the VGChartZ Community:::

And I've voiced that I'll be running the PS4 Pro to a 1080p HDTV, and I'm totally cool with that.  But do I need a new receiver to take advantage of the supersampling?  Logic tells me "no, " but I want to be sure.  Running the Pro straight to the HDTV with a high bandwidth HDMI is NOT an option because I want to experience lossless audio when watching Blu-rays.  Therefore, I'm running the Pro to the receiver.  My receiver is an older Sony STR-DG820 made in 2008.  It accomodates both Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD which are the reason why I bought the receiver.  It does NOT support 3D, 4K, and HDR.  But will I loose the advantage of supersampling if I were to run the Pro from the older a/v receiver to the 1080P television?
