That’s DTS-HD bitstream – I am talking about DTS-HD Master Audio bitstream.

There are maybe 2 titles with DTS-HD only and not DTS-HD Master Audio, so that’s not helping anybody.

I will support Sony products, but this glaring omission in the PS3 and the BDP-S1, BDP-S300, BDP-S500 and BDP-S2000ES needs to be addressed.

Will DTS-HD Master Audio through bitstream be supported by a firmware update?
