Studio-grade DTS-HD may be coming to PS3

One of the latest surround sound formats that's generating lots of buzz among home theater enthusiasts is DTS-HD Master Audio. The DTS equivalent of the data compression-free Dolby TrueHD, it promises high-resolution multichannel audio comparable to the original master recording used in theaters and cineplexes.

Though there's an existing library of HD titles carrying such soundtracks, existing hardware support is a bit lacking with only the firmware-upgraded Samsung BD-P1400 capable of unleashing its full potential.

Anyway, a rumor has been floating around that DTS is collaborating with Sony to enable this feature for the PlayStation 3, to be decoded internally by the console and output via HDMI. We can't be sure whether this is for real, but we will be keeping tabs on future PS3 firmware updates. Stay tuned!
