What is the best music settings for the PS3? (See the details)?

Question

What is the best music settings for the PS3? What codec should I choose for the audio CD import section (mp3, AAC, or ATRAC)? And what should the bit rate be? How about the audio CD output frequency? I set that on 44.1/88.2/176.4 kHz. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

AAC codec is OK, but rare. It's better to go with MP3 - most common, you can always clean it up a little on your PC.
CD output frequency - by default it's 44.1.
Don't use Atrac - it's a total mess, a couple of years ago it was voted as a worst sound codec by some sources. In the beginning Sony used it only for now-almost-obsolete minidiscs.
