OP's amp won't support those audio modes, but if he ever upgraded his amp down the road, why buy new cables?
You don't need to use bitstream, it can be passed as PCM over any HDMI cable, with no loss in quality. In fact if you have a PS3 other than slim, you need to it that way anyway.

In any case, you shouldn't be spending $12 on an HDMI cable, 1.2 or 1.3 or whatever. Get a 1.3 cable from Monoprice for $2.50 USD (and up, depending on length). Anything more is a stupid waste of money.
