The next firmware update for Sony's PlayStation 3 should please those who use the console's Blu-ray capabilities to watch movies.

Version 2.30 will bring DTS-HD Master Audio technology to the PS3, improving the sound quality for owners up to HD standards for those with the correct kit.

DTS-HD can deliver 7.1 audio channel, which is said to be identical to the studio master with 96k/24-bit sound.

"PS3 was designed to enable delivery of new and improved technologies like DTS-HD Master Audio", said a top Sony bod, "So we are delighted to be able to offer this capability to PS3 users".

The new firmware will be available to download as a free upgrade on 15 April 2008.
