	DTS, the Dolby competitor in HD audio, has announced that along with the death of HD-DVD, its DTS-HD Master Audio technology is now available for the Playstation 3. DTS-HD Master Audio is capable of delivering audio that is bit-for-bit identical to the studio master at super high variable bit rates (up to 24.5 Mbps on Blu-ray™ Discs). The April 15th firmware upgrade will include the technology upgrade. Great news for audiophiles! PRESS RELEASE DTS, Inc. (NASDAQ: DTSI) a digital audio technology company dedicated to delivering the ultimate entertainment experience, has announced that its DTS-HD Master Audio™ technology is now available for the PLAYSTATION®3 (PS3™) computer entertainment system.

hmm now i know why SONY said they can last long because the firmware just keep getting better and better...

well , i have to agree with you on this one blacktiger.

The Ps3 is probably the best machine you can get in terms of "bang for the buck".

Im actualy looking forward to buy one when the MGS4 Pack comes out.

The sound quality out of my PS3 is stunning, I didn't think that uncompressed audio from a bluray would be much of an improvement over a DVD, but it is with the right set up. To hear the difference you need to have a receiver with HDMI and a 7.1 system truely amazing, not even digital optical cables can handle this level of audio.

but u know what piss me of the most, the fact that i feel like giving away my ps3 40 gig for 80 gig, even though i dont care much, but just hate the fact that i have to stick with black and all that stuffs

im gonna return since its 30 days, and then get again and then do it again till MGS4 comes out,

hahahahahah !!!

and i can even get the grey version oooooooh yea, smart move I am...

PS3 is the best console ever.

Yeah, PS3 is #1, even during the 16-bit era.

Did anybody ever check out how many colour does PS3 comes with...?

so far black eh ?

The Limey makes some interesting points, though. I would like to expand on some of them.

First, if you want the best sound possible, a Digital Coax cable made of 24k Gold is necessary. The charts don't like when they say that Digital Coax is better than Digital Optical, and HDMI is basically equal to Digital Optical in quality. Hopefully, you live in an area where there isn't a lot of electrical noise, because if you do, then you can literally hear it when the volume is turned up high.

In order to hear any of this, you need an Audio/Video Receiver that has a THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) of less than 0.07.

Please understand, lower is better with Total Harmonic Distortion. When you go and see an Audio/Video Receiver at a store that has 0.7 THD, that is TERRIBLE sound! Comparing 0.7 THD to 0.07 is like comparing Night to Day!

Generally speaking, the two supreme manufacturers of high-end A/V receivers are Denon and Onkyo. Dollar-for-dollar, there is no question that Yamaha makes the best product; they usually have an A/V Receiver with a THD that is 0.04, yet can output 120w per channel x 7 for about $800 or less, and that costs a lot more with other manufacturers.

Speakers are really important, too, and they are by far the most overpriced electronic item. I recommend staying away from Bose and Polk Audio, because they used "Fixed Pricing" that never goes on sale, and is infinitely over-priced, especially for two-way speakers.

JBL used to make a speaker called the Studio series; they were three-way speakers with 100% Titanium Tweeters, and they went all the way down to 35hz! The manufacturers suggested retail price was $1,000 for two of them, but you could often negotiate those prices down if you bought everything as part of a package. Now, it is tough to find stuff that good for that price.

Even the speaker wire you use plays a role in the sound quality. You could have the best speakers and A/V Receiver in the world, but if you buy cheap speaker wire that doesn't work properly with your speakers, then you will understand why people say "a chain is only as strong as its weakest link."

Krogan - from my understand digital co ax or optical is not the same as HDMI and can't handle the volume of data that is required for uncompressed audio.

Limey your wasting your time... with him belive me...

HDMI is supposed to be the best quality on the market right now, according to him its not !
