Please add support for DTS for the Sonos Playbar.

Hello, have a question to the community who own a Playbar. If we supposed that the Playbar supports DTS, does your TV support DTS passthrough over the optical cable? I think the most of us have to buy an additional optical audio switch.
@Tom. Standard DTS can be passed through optical, although some early A/V receivers had trouble with a full-bitrate signal. HD DTS formats found on Blu-ray disks, such as DTS-HD Master Audio, are not available over optical.

@Jgatie: so if DTS is added to the PLAYBAR what would get passed from a Blu-ray like Jurassic Park or Star Wars that only have DTS-MA audio tracks? It sounds like the only way to get DTS-HD to the PLAYBAR would be if it had HDMI ports. Would something like HDMI ARC work?

DTS-HD/MA has a 'core' track of lossy 1.5 MBs DTS that can be sent via optical, but not all players support it. Check your Blu-ray player. Note that even this core track is superior to 95% of the DVD DTS tracks, which are usually 750kbs and below.

Ah, ok. Got it. Pretty sure the PS3 supports this.

Yes it does.

And does it follow that this lossy DTS is better than LPCM or whatever the PS3 is encoding it as? Sounds like one can get DTS to the PLAYBAR either with an A/V receiver that has an optical out port or by using a TOSLink switch. That clears it up for me, thanks again @Jgatie

I get it. Even if they fix the DTS issue via firmware we won't be able to listen true DTS or 5.1, but anyway, you expect that kind of option from a brand like Sonos. The possibility to connect the Playbar to the PS3 or bluray player and listen the movies in DTS format. Most of blu rays and games use DTS now.

PLAYBAR also does not support LPCM. It's most likely that your PS3 is sending 2.0 PCM and this is being upscaled. Alternatively, your blu-ray may contain a secondary Dolby Digital audio track and it is using that.

If they fix the DTS issue, you WILL get true DTS. You won't get DTS-MA though, that's an entirely different thing. The key benefit from adding DTS is that you get true 5.1 sound, instead of silence.
