Yes. :)

What do you mean by loss of quality? You wouldn't be getting 4k detail but the super sampled image will still be more detailed than if the game were rendering at 1080p natively. As long as you select your output to be 1080p, the signal coming out of the PS4 won't be any different for your TV than the signal coming out of a PS3.

"Loss of Quality" was probably a poor choice phrase.  I think I understand that the supersampled output going from the PS4 Pro to the a/v receiver and ultimately to the 1080P TV will be HDMI 1.3 compatible as long as I run two HDMI 1.3 category 2 cables among the components.

Yes it's the same signal as before. The pro won't even let you select 2160p as your receiver and tv don't support it. I have the same thing with my Yamaha receiver and projector. Supersampling works, and you can even take 4K screenshots on the pro.

Btw there's no advantage to using bitstream for sound, linear pcm will send the same lossless audio at 7.1 to your receiver. (Unless your receiver doesn't support that) Whether the ps4 decodes it or the receiver makes no difference. There's not much of an advantage to linear pcm either, unless you want the menu sounds when you use the pop up menu during the movie.
