Finally the wait for the new PSN Store re-opening is finally coming to and end. Along with a brand new store, Sony will also be releasing a new firmware 2.30 upgrade for the PS3.
According to Sony’s press release this new firmware update will be of perticular importanceto audiophiles due to the addition of two new audio output streams supported by Blu-Ray discs.
One of the new streams, ‘DTS-HD Master Audio’, will apparently bring even higher quality audio sound to your living with the second ‘DTS-HD High Resolution being quite similar to the first only that it requires less HDD space. Please note thatthese new audio streams aren’t supported by everyBlu-Ray title.
DTS-HD Master Audio is literally bit-for-bit identical to the studio master recording and makes movie soundtracks and sound effects truly come to life. The technology delivers audio at the incredibly high rate of 24.5 mega-bits per second (Mbps) on Blu-ray disc, which is significantly higher than standard DVDs. DTS-HD Master Audio also offers 7.1 audio channels at 96k sampling frequency/24 bit depths, so you’ll be totally immersed in the sound. The firmware update will add DTS-HD High Resolution Audio as well, which is a similar output technology that requires less disc space.
