Dear Sonos,
It's time to support al DTS formats. DTS support is returning to TVs, for example with the lg g3 en c3. Watching 4k movies on Blu Ray is just amazing with the Sonos surround set and Dolby Atmos (arc+era300+sub). But many of the best films, like the Christopher Nolan films, use DTS and not dolby. So please, update the system:).

DTS support was added a while back, when the patent for it expired.

Think he means dts-x and HD support not the free 5.1 version

The vast majority of my movies and shows are DTS-HD or DTS-X. The lack of support is maybe the biggest detraction for my Sonos set, for me.

Did you know you can set your Blu-ray player to convert DTS to PCM so you will get Multichannel PCM audio from all of your DTS-encoded discs?

Yes indeed. The player for the room I have my Sonos set in is my Playstation 5 anyways, so in the options there I can output in LPCM (which I do if I have -X or -HD discs) or Bitstream for the Dolby or regular DTS discs.

I’ve got >50 4K Ultra discs in DTS:X format. It sure would be nice to get the full object oriented audio with full DTS:X support in my Sonos HT setup…
(I have well over 600 additional Blu Ray discs in DTS-HD format, but the conversion to LPCM for that non-object oriented audio is perfectly fine for me.)

Unfortunately for me my bluray player when set to pcm for dts-hd output is in stereo pcm on my sonos system.
There is no lpcm option so I am hoping they will support dts-x and HD before it annoys me enough to look elsewhere for my HT pleasure 😊

What model Blu-ray player do you have? Is your TV equipped with eARC?

No earc but it passes through dolby atmos compressed and dts 5.1 with no problems

eARC is required for Multichannel PCM, DTS-HD Master Audio, and DTS:X. So even if Sonos supported the latter two formats, you still wouldn’t be able to play them with your current setup.

Yes I know I will probably replace the arc at some point
Imax Enhanced certification may eventually push Sonos to change tack.
If it doesn’t include a licensing fee, certainly possible.
If, of course, there’s enough horsepower in the various CPU that runs each soundbar type to handle it, and enough RAM to handle the increased footprint for the size of the code base.
I’d imagine it would be hard for Sonos to pony up licensing fees for every speaker they’ve sold since they started, which is often how those licensing fees are structured.
Will be a while before we will know how IMAX enhanced goes but if it does well I would imagine Sonos would release new products rather than back date it to older ones.
