can we please get dts hd and dts x it is 2022 afterall

hi just touching on this which im sure has already been asked plenty of times, but can we just get dts hd and dts x already it seems crazy to me to think a system that can cost up to and over 1500 hasnt the ability to play these modern formats, when you could pick up a standard av receiver for about 300 pound which would support all the mentioned formats

I have found myself more times than enough now sitting down to watch a film and simply getting mute audio just because it is in dts hd or dts x and quite alot of the time this is when i have friends and family over so it isnt a good look for the sonos brand that it cant produce sound for these types of movies or tv shows

it is somnething that could quite easily be achieved since yous went and enabled dts standard after not supporting it, i feel if yous want to be seen as the go to soundbars yous then have to make sure its the go to for audio formats also which currently it isnt dont get me wrong the sonos eco system and products are fantastic and i love my setup but to do dts but not go as far as offering dts hd or dts x is just lazy

    @MrZeDark just checked my Harry Potter steel book collection and it is hdr10 and dts-hd master 7.1 

    The apple tv version I have is dolby vision and 5.1 dolby digital…

    Just thought I'd offer that information 😊

    Harry Potter is in DTS-HD-MA & DTS:X on 4k UHD Disc. I wasn’t referring to streaming. 

    I have streamed it, it’s fine - but I’ll never be able to buy and own this, and enjoy spatial audio in Harry Potter on my Sonos. 

    My disc doesn't have dts-x and no you won't be able to get that on sonos which is a shame 

    Guessing the UK version I have is different to yours

        DTS HD & DTS X would be amazing. Like 60% of my physical media collections would have new life breathed into it! Imagine if sonos made this happen for Christmas 2022. Wouldn't that be incredible.

          I’m curious. Would you pay for the mentioned codecs and if so, how much? What if it was a monthly subscription?

          I’m thinking that if there was a suggestion that people might be happy to pay for these additional codecs, then perhaps Sonos might go onto introduce these things as there is probably a licence fee attached to them for their use.

          Given that most other soundbars that are much less expensive than sonos support DTS:X, sonos should have no issues covering the cost.

            But those soundbars you have mentioned likely had the licence fees built into their overall price before purchase.

            Sonos must have many thousands, if not millions, of Home Theatre products that they’ve already released without the licence fee included and they will need to pay for those too, I guess? - so how much should we pay? I wonder if a monthly subscription might be cheaper, perhaps and just those that want it, should pay the fee.

              I don't think a muti million dollar company like sonos should have any issues covering the cost.

              I guess that could mean there is no real ‘incentive’ for Sonos to introduce these things then. I don’t need the DTS-X/HQ codecs personally speaking, particularly if it might mean that product costs will go up in the future to recoup the cost of the DTS licence fee, whereas if those who wanted the codecs were prepared to pay for them, then that might have helped encourage Sonos to perhaps introduce these things, but it still strikes me that those who want the codec seem to not want to pay for the service.

                The same could be said for LG and Samsung? I was really pleased to see Sonos adding standard DTS because then I should have got some sound instead of silence, only to find LG had deleted DTS between my TV model years. I can transcode to LPCM but then hit an intermittent sound drop issue. Obviously HD and X would be even better for convenience, but I’d quite like the basics to work first.

                  The xbox one and the Series X upscales DTS X to Dolby Atmos.
