To be honest I have no clue what that means..

it mean's great sound quality..not the absolute best but very high end sound quality.

that's great for the 3DS

5.1 does not mean ANYTHING for sound quality.  It merely says it supports 5 speakers and a subwoofer.  When you refer to Dolby Digital, DTS True HD, Uncompressed PCM, NOW you're talking about what kind of sound quality you're gonna get.

It would mean high Quality due to the fact that if your going to have a device that support's such a set up the bit rate better be support or the sound quality would take a big hit. though it's not like that's an issue with a handheld but it does show atleast until we get more info that the sound quality for the 3DS will be better. due to the hardware being able to support .

an yes your right about it does not mean anything about 5.1 but since this does support 3D movies that may mean the sound quality is alot better. and I am pretty sure it's better than any of the previous DS's.

because this one is also set to run Movies right out of the box. that's a change from other DS hardware.
