Another DTS post

Hello, maybe someone in 2018 has found the solution.
Do you know if are there any “boxes” like an audio extractor that convert an HDMI INPUT DTS in a optical output DD 5.1? Even optical in and out will be ok.
Unfortunately I only found extractor that separate video from audio from HDMI input to an optical output, but don’t do the DTS to DD transcoding.
It means that if the HDMI source is DTS, the optical output will be DTS, and if the HDMI source is DD 5.1, optical output will be DD5.1.

I’m searching for a converter that with DTS HDMI input, will output a Dolby Digital 5.1.

Thanks

Would be the best news since years... Only hope in 100% backward compatibility with Sub and play 1... Could change playbar for playbar 2.0, but not the entire 5.1 system

I'll eat my hat, and yours, if a new Playbar isn't compatible with current Sub and Play 1s

    To be clear, we don't know that it's a soundbar, it's the forum's favorite speculation. (Not at all saying it's a bad one) We do know it is has hdmi though.

    Either way, wait till the 6/6 announcement. Even if the current playbar is exactly what you need, there could be a price change after the announcement.

      Yes I understand. At least 6/6 is very near. I already have the playbar and it is superb, but the new one could solve all DTS issue and will allow me to purchase the LG UP970 blu ray player with Dolby Vision but NOT DTS transcoding.
      Let’s hope and pray. Anyway, good news.

      IMHO since an HDMI input will be present, would be very strange it will not be a soundbar.

      Maybe a soundbar that works as a center channel, that paired with 2 play 1 on the front and 2 play 1 on the back will be the perfect wireless 5.1... Just wondering...

      If you want to solve for it now try looking at this: ViewHD UHD 18G HDMI Audio Extractor / Splitter Support HDMI v2.0 | HDCP v2.2 | 4K@60Hz | HDR | ARC | 3.5MM Analog Audio Output | Toslink Optical Audio Output | HDMI Audio Output | Model: VHD-UHAE2

      Unfortunately seems not to be the solution.

      DTS comes over the HDMI connection, gets extracted, and then is sent down the optical out. That is how I understand it to work.

      Exactly. I need same kind of switch but in addition, with HDMI DTS IN, will output an optical Dolby Digital OUT.

      I’ll wait till 6th June.

      Until then, I’ll do the transcoding via PS4 and XBOX ONE that works well
