True HD via optical, much resolution loss?

Is there a great loss with detail when playing HD audio bluray movies with using optical?

Dts HD, True HD etc

You can't play them at all down optical. You'll be limited to DD or DTS (Lossy). You cab do stereo pcm if you want though.

I only have 2.0 stereo setup so stereo pcm is perfect

In absolute terms, yes, there's a difference. But for you it won't matter. You're running a 2.0 system - or you were a week or two ago, unless it has changed in that time - so your player should be set to output stereo not multichannel. From BD you'll get 48kHz uncompressed 2 channel PCM, even if the player is playing the HD audio tracks.

Thank you
