I am searching for a Blu Ray player that can convert DTS and other formats to Dolby Digital 5.1., so I can enjoy my DTS Blu Rays with full 5.1. via the Sonos Playbar (+ 2 Play:1). Sonos has recommened a line of Samsung Blu Ray Players in this thread: https://sonos.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1945/~/maximizing-playbar-sound-from-your-television
Unfortunately most of these are not on the market anymore.
Can anyone recommend any Blu Ray players that can convert DTS and other formats to Dolby Digital 5.1.?
All Best

FYI - for others looking for a solution to the "DTS problem", I just purchased the Samsung UBD-M8500. It has the option to convert DTS audio to Dolby Digital. For this purpose, I recommend this model.
I can _finally_ listen to all of my Blu-ray (and DVD) disks that only have DTS!! (05/21/2019)
For those of us with a lot of DVD and Blu-ray (more than I care to admit) it seems a little absurd to have a $1800 surround sound system and have to go out and spend a couple hundred more if we actually want to _hear_ our DVD's and Blu-rays. < / Whining >
So I'll stop my whining and enjoy the setup!! (For music, the system has been great! Awesome flexibility for multiple rooms with stereo pairing setups!!)

That is my assumption. I'm not a real audiophile and have no way of testing.
However, I can say that I went back to a DVD that previously had no sound (through Sonos) and checked that the blu-ray player said it was DTS 7.1.
The audio not only works in Sonos - but it provides the complete surround sound experience. (Tidal wave crashing front to back and helicopters flying from front left to back right -- matching the visuals perfectly!
Someone mentioned much earlier in this thread (> 1 year ago) that the recommended 4k player models were no longer made.

Do you mind sharing what this specifically refers to ("Little German box")? - Thank you.
This is Brad in Alaska. Hope you're doing okay after the recent rash of Shark Tornadoes you've had to endure. We're still getting aftershocks here. But I digress.
I wouldn't call it "whining". I was in the same boat until I bought that little German box with the dip switches on it. I at least get a Dolby 5.1 conversion and, I too would have liked the Sonos products to be a bit more versatile in their ability to handle multiple audio types. I mean, not that I can hear such subtle high, lows, or anything else.
I looked into the M8500 and ended up getting the model right under it but, as I wrote previously, I still got the small device. Being that it was a year ago, as I think back on it, I believe that it was the limitation of my Samsung TV. Always something. Thanks for the reply, Brad.

Does this decode dts 5.1 and make it playable on sonos in surround (Dolby digital 5.1 presumably)?

Agreed,
I have been through two Oppo's. I send the first one to move up the the UDP(Universal Disc Player)-203.
It decodes everything to what you want. Pam sure they would be hard to find but eBay is always a try or audiogon.com is another place to try. Do your research before purchasing any of the pre-owned players. If you can find an Oppo, I would buy it.
