You are correct. HD DVD add-on does have inferior sound compared to PS3, HD DVD standalones and Blu-Ray standalones. It is still not crap, but you do get DD 5.1 instead of TrueHD or DD+ thus some difference.
For majority of people though, this won't come as a huge problem as they are quite obviously very happy with DD 5.1 on DVDs to begin with and HD DVD add-on price right now is low so it's kind of smaller sacrifice.
