DTS-HD Master Audio Suite (MAS) version 2.60.22 is a legacy professional audio production toolset designed for creating, editing, and verifying high-definition audio bitstreams for Blu-ray Disc, DVD, and DTS music discs. While it has largely been succeeded by the DTS:X Encoder Suite

The Suite typically includes several components: Dts-hd Master Audio Suite 2.60.22 20

Its primary function is to encode multichannel PCM audio (uncompressed WAV files) into DTS-HD Master Audio — a lossless compression format used on Blu-ray Discs and some digital cinema packages. The suite also includes decoders to verify the bitstream. DTS-HD Master Audio Suite (MAS) version 2

• GUI: load project, map channels, choose sample rate and bit depth, select bitstream options (DTS core + MA extension), and start encode.
• CLI example (conceptual):

  dtshd_encoder -i input_7.1.wav -o output.dts --profile ma --samplerate 48000 --bitdepth 24

Later DTS encoders (v3.x and beyond) introduced DTS:X object-based encoding, but many authoring workflows still require strict BD-ROM compliance. v2.60.22 reliably generates .cpt (DTS-HD stream) files that pass verification tools like DTS-HD StreamTools or Scenarist BD.

Step 1: Preparing Your Source Audio

Before opening the suite, you must prepare your audio tracks in your DAW.

The suite is typically comprised of three primary tools designed for professional mastering workflows:
