    Default PS3 24/96?

    Quick question guys, is it possible to play 24/96 or higher audio files on the the PS3? I've tried a few downloaded 24/96 WAV files saved onto a USB stick and transfered onto the PS3 HD
    All I get is unsupported data, trying normal WAV's work ok

    Firmware is 3.01, the files are seen if looked under audio list on the ps3 but soon as I try and play them it says unsupported data.
    All the options are ticked for optical out settings

    Its my sons PS3 but a friend wants to use one with his Stan dac and asked me if it'll work

    Any idea's ta
    Cheers,
    Leo

    i think the new "slimline" ps3 will be capable... i havent looked into it but it was suggested to me in the shop in passing that it would be able to proccess dts hd (24/96) etc.. this woud obviously be through hdmi but there might be a knock on effect to the optical...
    please dont quote me on this as i dont really know what im saying and its pure speculation

    Hamish and Leo,
    Which of us is missing something? - neither of your individual Posts count match the count in the top right hand corner of each post - doing your own count is therefore unnecessary, inaccurate and invalid, so !
    Cheers,
    DaveK.

    My System:
    Power: Belkin PF40, Custom.hifi.cables Hydra and DC PSUs.
    Sources: Self built HTPC with Xonar ST sound card, NAD T585 multi disc player, Sony BDP-S350, Squeezebox Touch, Techncs SL1210 (mod'd) + Nagaoka MP30, Thomson Sky HD box.
    Amps etc.: 2 x Mini-T amps, MF-X10D Valve buffer clone, StanDAC 7520/Caiman (mod'd).
    Speakers: Mission 774s with added super tweeters
    Cables: best I can afford and likely to change except Homar's RF attenuated co-ax's and Mark Grant USB and HDMI cables. I also like silver i/cs and speaker cable.
