Has anyone messed with this BD audio option on his or her PS3?
I enabled it, and ever since, I can watch a Blu-ray with DTS-MA audio and my PS3 downmixes and converts it in REAL TIME to Dolby Digital 5.1 which is compatible with my DD-only receiver over optical audio cable.
That's awesome, because before that, my PS3 would only play DTS-MA blu-rays in stereo sound because obviously optical cable and DD 5.1 amp doesn't support DTS-MA.
I was simply blown away because you know how you can press [select] and you see the video and audio stream info? It showed 4Mbps DTS-MA audio track, yet my amp was outputting 5.1 Dolby Digital surround. I was like YEAH!!! No more stereo sound for my DTS-only Blu-rays!

The specs are really approachable for a lot of pc players. Hope the game turns out good.
Total sales for Nioh 3 have surpassed one million units worldwide, publisher Koei Tecmo and developer Team NINJA announced. It reached the one million mark faster than any previous Nioh game.
Sony Interactive Entertainment's next console, the PS6, will not be digital only, according to former PlayStation boss Shawn Layden.
Not trying to be rude, but I think Layden has absolutely nothing to do with Sony for almost a decade at this point.
I don't even know why people doubt its gonna support discs too. Of course it will. Once Sony realized they could sell it as an add on, the whole conversation is moot at this point. Because Money. I doubt they will ever stop supporting disc.
And their competition has no such add-on for their digital consoles, meaning if you got the cheap one for christmas, there's no hope of upgrading it to be able to play your old games. I'll gladly take the $100 add-on approach to that.
If this gen is any indication there will totally be a digital only PS5 model. Let's not kid ourselves here. There's going to be 2 SKU's again.
I think what he's saying is that there will still be options to upgrade the digital only model to include a disc drive, much like the current PS5 slim.
No I'm fairly certain they will do what they do now, 1 sku with an expansion slot for a drive. It simplifies production and gives people the option to get a drive later if they want.
I would be fine with a BD drive add-on they started with the slim if it means more power for a more affordable price. better yet, if they allow it to use the PS5 BD add-on by default. it's not like the games run from the disc anyway, and it's totally doable. would be a huge win-win situation for both Sony and gamers
Sounds like you are just passing the 2 channel pcm into pro logic it wont even be DD5.1.
Optical can only carry 2 channels of PCM but tbh before i had a 7.1 lossless setup i would listen to the DTSMA in stereo because it was SO SO much better than regular surround.
Its really worth getting a 7.1 lossless setup as big an upgrade as SDTV to 1080p in my opinion. :)
Nope, it's not pro logic dude. It's 5.1 Dolby Digital surround. I'm not stupid. The only way my amp does pro logic is by several button presses and a menu selection. PL is not automatic on my system.
The PS3 is DEFINITELY re-encoding the stream to Dolby. Definitely. There is literally no other explanation. None at all. I'm getting dedicated sound channels to all 5 speakers, and the 5.1 dolby light is lit up on my amp.
