One reason of DTS support for Sonos

Before the next release of a new soundbar or soundbase. Add support for DTS will increase the sell of current products immediately but with a minimal cost (just some licensing fee).
For example, I will buy a soundbase just tomorrow, if there is an confirmed update for DTS.

    DTS please SONOS, almost all of my Blurays are DTS for a surround; and yes true discrete channels make a difference to sound quality 

     

    I love the SONOS style and ecosystem but I cannot invest in your products full knowing that none of my Blurays will work...neither will I recommend to friends and family because of this

     

    Please reconsider adding DTS, the format has been around nearly 20 years and cannot be that resource intensive with today’s standard ICs available

     

    thanks

     

    You can get bluray players that will transcode DTS to DD5.1.  I use xbox one personally.  That may not be acceptable to you, but it’s not exactly true to say Sonos can’t play blurays.

    ... Sorry to me there is no excuse for the lack of DTS support, except corporate greed. I wish people would stop defending Sonos on this decision, it seems they only implemented it if enough people complain about it :-)

    People have been complaining about it for nearly 7 years, through the release of all 3 Sonos TV devices, in thousands of posts, in dozens of threads.  I highly doubt more complaints will have any effect on the decision.

    Because people defend this silly omission constantly. Your kit would be worth more on the secondhand market to if DTS was on it...More people would want it, a bigger base of potential purchasers when you succumb to upgradeitus

    Stating facts isn’t defending Sonos decision on this.  I’m actually mostly neutral on this overall.  I can’t agree that the decision is based on corporate greed without knowing Sonos costs, profit margin, etc. around this area.

    Nobody defends it.  But it is what it is, and complaining about it has been unfruitful for 7 years.  You know what they say about doing the same thing again and again, expecting a different result?
