The new bit rates are only fully useable for the PSP and some ATRAC device such as the NW-E99. For the NW-HD5, the only new ATRAC3plus bit rates you can employ is the 192kbps - a new firmware will be needed to fully utilize the rest.

0 pata2001 Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 (edited) I still think firmware update should not be needed for playback. It's the same codec (atrac3+), only different bitrates, unlike MP3 vs atrac. An example is the 1st gen AtracCD PCDPs. When they were released, the supported bitrate for Atrac3+ are only 64kbps and 48kbps. Yet, when HiSP(256kbps) is available, those PCDPs can play it just fine. Another example is the E99. If it can play all bitrates, I don't see why the HDx, or even HiMD cannot. All we need is for Sony to allow SS to transfer those bitrates to any devices. My guess is currect devices might not be optimized in terms of power usage for those bitrates, so maybe Sony is afraid that their advertised battery life might fall short when the new bitrates are used.
