Please add support for DTS for the Sonos Playbar.

A hifi homecinema soundbar without dts support seems not up to date for me. Are there any plans to add dts support?

      I can’t see This bandwidth issue being true as I would think the play bar would do the decoding then stream the audio to the rest of the system if it can do it for DD5.1 I can’t see it being an issue with DTS as the decoded channels should be much the same or am I missing something?

      Having bought a playbar and sub I am very disappointed that it does not support DTS. 90% of my blu-rays are DTS whilst only 30% are Dolby Digital 5.1.

      The joy of our new Playbar is being squashed every time we look at the Blue Ray Discs just sitting there mocking us with their silence. Let's have a far more affirmative statement (positive or heaven forbid negative) from SONOS rather than the bland 'it's on the list'.

      I have a playbar, and DTS seems that should be added as blu-rays often only have DTS.....

      I'm incredibly disappointed.. Disappointed is not a word I have ever associated with Sonos having already picked up Play5 & Play3, not to mention helped some friends get kitted out.. Picked up my AU$999 (that's US$1040 - we pay extra for the pleasure of living in Australia) Playbar 2 days ago. It took a lot longer to unwire my trusty old Samsung 5.1 system than to assemble the Sonos.... But no sound from most of my movies!! Please Sonos.. if there is a potential fix for this, please move it to the top of your priority list. Your reputation for quality is taking a hit. If there is no chance of an update, please make this clear ASAP so that your customers can return their purchases within the accepted time period.

      So disappointed and frustrated - just received my Playbar and it's stunning except for one point; let's hope it's just a matter of time before SONOS do the right thing and implement dts.

      Most of my media content is dts...SONOS, you NEED to add this. Whether a TV supports DTS throughput is irrelevant as most probably don't even have a TV that supports DD5.1. I know mine didn't. I had to go with an HDMI switch and it works fabulously even though you won't support it. I am ok with the lack of support, just not ok with a lack of DTS.

      Recently purchased playbar , and its a great piece of kit, but the dts issue is deeply troubling, as a consequence I will not be investing anymore cash in this surround system, or recommending it to others.

      As soon as the playbar has DTS support for my blu rays I will purchase one to go with my sub and two play 3's. Until then I'm sticking with my LG 5.1 and will need to keep 2 systems on the go!
