AGOURA HILLS, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
DTS, Inc. (NASDAQ:DTSI), a digital audio technology company
dedicated to delivering the ultimate entertainment experience, has
announced that its DTS-HD Master Audio(TM) technology is now available

single-bit-stream codec design enables supremely efficient content
programming and consumer playback. The new PS3 with DTS-HD Master
Audio will be available by simply downloading the upcoming firmware
upgrade on April 15th, 2008.

is adding the full spectrum premium DTS-HD Master Audio codec into the
PS3 so that more than 10 million owners of one of the best selling
computer entertainment systems can have the best sounding, most
efficient and flexible audio technology available as well," said Brian
Towne, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Consumer Division at
DTS. "DTS-HD Master Audio is fast becoming the must-have feature for
