4K/UHD bluray players that decode DTS to Dolby?

The Oppo support page confirms this (yay!)
Added the Dolby Digital and DTS options under the S/PDIF Output setting in Audio Output Setup, which allows the player to re-encode different audio formats into the Dolby Digital or DTS audio format for the S/PDIF output.

Absolutely GIGANTIC news. Wow. I'm stunned.

Sure is!
I just bought the Samsung K8500 a couple of weeks ago. But I'm going to return that. I just placed an order for the Oppo 203. While I'm satisfied with the picture from the Samsung player, my TV supports both Dolby Vision & HDR10 so I really want a blu-ray player that will also support both formats. Also in the recent news - the first UHD discs are coming out with Dolby Vision.

I am stunned...and elated! Thank you community - I wouldn't have known without these postings.

Already returned my OPPO as I could never get confirmation of this update. Fantastic that OPPO listened and met this need! Time to support them and reorder this immediately.

Sonos - please listen to your loyal customer base and provide us a means to decode modern audio codecs in the near future.

So far so good, but just a few kinks i am working out and they could be user error or the fact that it is a beta version. I have my ps4 pro going into the oppo so that my streeming apps will still have 5.1. There js a heavy a/v sync issue. Ive seen an area to adjust but all the changes ive done dont seem to help much. This like i said could be user error tho, still tinkering.

The second i am trying to figure out hoe to habe my wii u play with audio noe as well. Ps4 into oppo= audio but with the wii u going into the tv i am forced to using thr hdmi arc to put the tv audio back into the oppo.

The issue so far is the vizio registers and sees the oppo under the arc settings (cec tab) but when trying to establish connection under oppo it keeps saying no device found and to make sure my device is arc compatible.

Probably just need to keep searching and playing with it.

As far as picture quality even on my non hdr set after color calibration and oppos internal color settings with the 8bit panel option selected, it looks dynamic! Extremely sharp on upscaled regular blu rays.

Could not be happier!

Also if anyone knows about the issues im having above i would definitely welcome input. I was never an audiophile and have learned so much just from this thread alone lol. It may be turning me into one hahah

Kyle,
Is it possible for you to have both the wii and the PS4 connect to the TV? Does the TV have enough HDMI ports? That way all of your device's audio have the same path )will go straight out the TV's optical port). If you could do this I think that this might help with the AV sync issue.

I'm picking up my Oppo 203 today at the Oppo office in Menlo Park. I'll be sure to give feedback on how it performs after I get the beta firmware installed.

Thanks for the reply tom,

I can go all hdmi including my ps4 into the tv but then i would have to use the arc audio for both as the optical is going from oppo to sonos not tv to sonos. And the reason i have ps4 into tbe oppo is because on vizio p series 2015 what i have found is only hdmi 5 port is hdcp 2.2 ready so i wont get 4k gaming or streaming from ps4 if i dont go through the oppo.

And right now the arc set up is proving to be challenging as well.

When you get a chance to play with it i will be waiting to see your feedback and thoughts.

I've been testing the new Oppo 203 player. Unfortunately, with my configuration I don't think it's going to work out for me. My setup is the STB and the Oppo connect to the TV's HDMI ports. The TV's optical out port goes to the Sonos Playbar. This works very well as my TV passes DD5.1 out the optical port. What I didn't realize until I setup the Oppo was that the DD5.1 transcoding they just added was just for the player's S/PDIF port. Not the HDMI port.

D'oh!

So, I experimented with the Oppo's HDMI audio settings. Here is what I found:
If the movie is in Dolby True HD then setting the the players HDMI to use Bitstream resulted in in DD5.1 to the Playbar.
If the movie is in DTS-HD then I get no audio unless I set the players HDMI to use LPCM. In which case the Sonos app states "Audio in: unsupported" but I get a pseudo surround effect. It seems to be similar to Pro-Logic Surround which is not a true surround. When I watch a movie in Dolby True HD with the player's optical connected to the Playbar it sounds much better (the Sonos app then shows audio in as DD5.1)

So, the only solution for the Oppo I see is to use an optical switch, to switch the Playbar between the TV and the Oppo. But that's a pain.
The Samsung just plain worked with it's transcoding as it also sent DD5.1 out it's HDMI port. So, given that the picture quality seemed just fine with the Samsung, I think I'll have to forgo future Dolby Vision support with the player and return the Oppo.
Sheesh.....

Correction in my above post:

Should read:

Hi, everyone. I've been looking for a decent feed regarding this issue with transforming DTS to DD5.1 and this has been a brilliant read. I'm not totally at ease with the technical terms etc and what's required but I use the Samsung 4K KS7000 TV which doesn't support Dolby Vision. So my questions are, does the Xbox support the encoding from DTS to DD5.1 and is it a better UBD player than the Samsung. I'll be honest that I can't afford the Obbo 203 but which other unit should I buy. I really need help as most of my current collection is format DTS and not having proper 5.1 sound is so frustrating beyond belief. I desperately need to transform DTS to DD5.1. Please help........thanks
