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?

      Ich habe mir die Playbar und den SuB bestellt und gekauft - gerade um auch meine Bluerays anzuschauen (FullHD) und mit tollem Sound anzuhören. Und nun stelle ich fest, dass ich nix hören werde. Das ist sehr ärgerlich. Wie lange ist der Entscheidungsprozess bei Sonos geplant, bis man ausdiskutiert hat und gegebenenfalls ein Update plant. Denn ich bin nun gezwungen zu entscheiden, ob ich die o.g. Geräte zurückgebe. Gibt es eine Workaround?

      I would suggest everyone posts on the Sonos FB Page to make this problem a little bit more public. Also consider emailing support. https://www.facebook.com/sonos?fref=ts

      I'm not even sure that an optical connection can support the bandwidth of DTS or uncompressed audio. I think the max you can get without adding HDMI would be Dolby Digital 5.1. Correct me if I'm wrong and please provide a source as I have dropped all consideration of purchasing a playbar due to what I believe is a hardware problem.. not software.

      The toslink connection is capable of transferring up to 1.5Mbps of data. It is true that this doesn't meet the conditions for DTS HD and similar advanced stuff. But it IS capable of transferring the good old DTS .... so what are we waiting for? Aunt edith says: It seems that even DTS HD is possible with toslink: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TOSLINK

      Has there been any further advance in getting DTS support via firmware update for the 5.1 setup?

      As an owner of a good collection of Sonos products I am extremely disappointed with their decision to not support DTS or have suitable inputs/outputs as a possible work-around. I was looking forward to buying the sound bar system for a second home and now it looks like I will forego any future Sonos purchases. How sad that a once terrific company has taken this tureen for the worse.

      I was so disappointed with this. I just bought a €699 playbar and the audio goes mute on the second movie I try... It just seems ridiculous.
