I know that DTS-HD MA is much better than DTS. What I meant was that most don't have a setup that supports DTS-HD MA, and since these movies don't also include PCM, they are stuck with the core DTS in the DTS-HD stream.
As for DTS-HD MA vs PCM, they are both losless, so as long as they are the same number of channels and the same sample rate etc. There is no reason why they shouldn't sound absolutely identical.
In fact the only real reason to use DTS-HD MA or TrueHD over PCM, is to save space.
Either way, I understand your desire to use the features of the hardware you've already bought.
