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?

      Yep, please add DTS support. As soon as that's implemented I-m pushing the buy button. Not having DTS support is unfortunately a deal-breaker. How can you opt for a Playbar when it won't serve as a full service player of movie audio. Well, you cannot.

      I love the Play3s, and when I heard about the Playbar and found it in stock locally, I went to buy one and a Sub. It was only when I got to the store that I found out about the lack of DTS support. So, no purchase and a wasted trip. Seems like a serious omission to me only catering for online movies. People do still buy Blu-rays and DVDs, I have hundreds ripped with the DTS audio only, why would I want to reduce the quality of my film experience? LesK

      John, Please provide us with an update as to the status of this feature (DTS) that was omitted from what is otherwise a great product. The feel in this thread is that you could secure several purchases with an annoucement of support for DTS. Me included. Thanks

      From the live chat they had in February, one of the Sonos people that worked on the playbar said "it can be added via software update" so hopefully the bandwidth isnt an issue

      Meh. I'm realizing how uncommon AV receivers that have optical out are. And as has been mentioned previously TV's, other then a very small handful, do not have the capability to output DTS. I think Sonos really bit themselves in the butt by not including at least 1 HDMI port on this thing. I have 30 days to really determine if I want to keep the Playbar.

      I just returned my playbar because of the inferior sound from my Blu Rays. I have two play:3's and a sub and would love to have a true 5.1 system. Please Sonos...

      Anybody know if this device will take the HDMI out from a Blu-Ray player and put out Dolby 5.1 through optical cable to the Sonos Playbar? http://amzn.com/B002BBAA4C I've ready the product description but can't figure it out.

      From the consensus of posts I have read, the topic should be renamed to: "Please add a HDMI port and support for DTS on the Sonos Playbar." Cue Playbar:2

      Sonos Playbar seems promising. But I´ll only buy it if it gets DTS. Otherwise I will have to look for something else. I´m suprised that it doesn´t support DTS already. I hope there will be a change very soon!
