I have Had my new Arc for a week now and although because of my TV being old I only get DD+ i amd very happy with it. the one thing i find disappointing is the lack of support fo DTS. i have bought several 4k disc that support DTS that i now find i cannot use, will that always be the case ?

is there any possibility this will change ?

    There is always a possibility 🙂. Knowing Sonos they will not support it.

    You can use a player (such as the Xbox one) which can recode DTS to Dolby Atmos on the fly.  This works perfectly with no lip sync issues on my setup (LG C9 - Sonos Arc - Xbox one X)

    Thanks 

    I may have a look and see if I can pick one up reasonably cheap. otherwise I might as well sell all the uhd DTS disc’s I have

    HI 

    Does anyone know if Samsung uhd blu ray spinners will do the same as above and transcode DTS as I read an old playbar thread where this was the case?

    To answer my own question.

    I bought a Samsung M9000 second hand and set the audio out as DD 5.1 

    Works a treat and sounds great.

    Although would prefer Sonos to come out with a solution

      A work around would be ripping the discs and playing them via Kodi on a Shield Tv for example, See this thread: https://en.community.sonos.com/home-theater-228993/will-the-playbase-work-with-shield-tv-6769550?postid=16101976#post16101976

      I don’t believe this works for DTS:X though?

      Not sure if Kodi also is a solution for DTS:X. No way for me to try this.

      Kodi, VLC, MPV/Mplayer are amazing stuff really. I think they can transcode music by own software codec. But I doubt that they can provide 5.1 or something because. I think stereo only.

      But if Kodi can transcode from DTS to AC3 (Dolby formats)...It could be true. Then even Beam could play 5.1 sound.

      Kodi can transcode DTS to 5.1 on my Nvidia Shield. My Beam does play 5.1 from DTS stuff I play on my Shield with Kodi.
