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 just bought the playbar and realized it doesn't support DTS. This is so disappointing!! Please add support for DTS on the playbar in the next update.

      I also have the playbar along with the sub and various other components in other rooms. The lack of DTS is indeed highly frustrating and should be pushed as an update asap to prevent people buying other solutions. Otherwise I'm very happy with it and would recommend it to others.

      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
      i'll take DTS as a start.... not to mention implementation would be far easier than to 'add a HDMI port'

      Same here. I love it but frustrated I can only watch my DTS Blu-rays in down mixed 2 channel stereo. Lets all push for that update.

      finally some one who thinks adding HDMI is a good idea... give the flexibility to the user optical or hdmi in (at least 3 console, dvr, dvd/bd).....

      Sounds to me like the Sonos dealer is trying to fob you off about the bandwidth as the only wireless part of the DTS soundtrack would be the Sub and Rears. The Playbar DTS track would be hardwired from the optical source.

      As much as I want DTS for my Playbar. I have a feeling that the mixed 2 channel stereo DTS track on the Playbar would still sound better than the quality of the 5.1 DTS track the Technika can manage 🙂

      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. Otherwise I'll....

      I want DTS! Just realized that it seems that a lot of Blue Rays have DTS instead of dolby 5.1, whereas the DVD has dolby (e.g.: the Movie "walk the line", German sound). So should I really by the "older" DVD to have the good sound, although the Blue Ray contains much more material? By the way: My TV does not put out dolby 5.1, but 2.0. So I connected my PS3 directly with the playbar and it works. But the difference to the DTS issue is that it is fixable by the customer...

      It's of course, for speaker in this price segment, not really an advantage to not support DTS. But is the hardware compliant with the DTS standard, or is it only a software integration?
