PlayStation 3 Firmware Update 2.30 Brings DTS-HD Master Audio

Today, SCEA announced that the latest PS3 update, 2.30, would bring the ability to decode DTS-HD Master Audio and DTS-HD High Resolution Audio tracks, that is to say, Blu-ray audio at variable bit rates up to 24.5Mbps, and 7.1 streaming of 96K/24-bit tracks. Does this make PS3 the best Blu-ray player ever? If you've got a receiver that can take an uncompressed audio stream of that magnitude via HDMI, then we think it does. UPDATE: To be clear, this decodes the DTS formats—plus Dolby's formats, including Dolby TrueHD—and outputs all channels via HDMI to a receiver that can take a 5.1 or 7.1 PCM stream. It won't do 5.1 or 7.1 analog output. Also, as some of you have noted, it does NOT bitstream the DTS or Dolby data to a decoder inside a newer decoder-equipped receiver. More »

Denon's Next Gen Receivers: The Stuff Home Theater Dreams Are Made Of

I've always been a fan of Denon's A/V components and their newest line of receivers reinforces my infatuation. The sexy new boxes will include HDMI 1.3 inputs and support for both Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD. There aren't that many devices out there that support HDMI 1.3, but we've already seen some upcoming Samsung HDTVs that carry the new spec, which allows for better color support and a smoother HD image. A nice way to future-proof your home theater set up if you ask me. So what else does Denon have in store for us? Well, for one, their high-end model (AVR-4308CI) will have built-in Wi-Fi for Internet radio (a nice bonus on a receiver). More »
