Please add support for DTS for the Sonos Playbar.

Presumably sonos would like to include DTS but they can't - as DTS signal can't be handled by an optical cable? I have a playbar and 2 play3s as surrounds and to be fair even the 'fake surround' sound is pretty awesome.....

A few days ago two playbar related ideas have changed status to 'planned'. Play Full Stereo Through PLAY:3 Satellites Bonded with PLAYBAR CONNECT:AMP for surround channels from the PLAYBAR. Let's hope dts support for playbar is the big surprise to come and hasn't been neglected...

Standard DTS is perfectly able to be transmitted via optical cable. It is the HD version, DTS-HD/MA, that is only transmitted via HDMI.

Dear Sonos This idea has been under consideration since Playbar launch. I really would like to be able to watch Blu-Rays with their native sound format, rather than down-mixed stereo. Hopefully this is not too much to ask from a top class system. Is there any update ? Thank you.

Unbelievable, this is still "under consideration". Who is considering what? As for now i would appreciate ANY information to this issue which is way better than silence. Owning the whole surround setup i'm still amazed of hearing music and meanwhile made a poor "arrangement" watching movies with DTS. But i cannot longer recommend sonos to my people (as i did since years) until this issue is cleared.

I would also like to see DTS support. I have been putting off buying a playbar for a long time and I am now thinking about going a different route. I would appreciate an update.

I wanted to buy a bundle (playbar, sub, 2xPlay3) but not without DTS and: https://ask.sonos.com/sonos/topics/switch_play_3s_between_surround_for_tv_and_stereo_pair_for_music

All my plans to extend my system are on hold until we can see some progress here. Too bad that it takes Sonos so long to give a concrete statement on the topic.

Please add DTS to the playbar Sonos so that I can buy it too. There are 2 clear reasons to do it: 1/ Many people have a problem with the single optical input and the fact their TV does not output a 5.1 signal. Well, if you look at the latest range of blu ray players from Oppo, you will see that their problem is solved in a fantastic way. Image from the blu ray to the screen while 5.1 sound from the blu ray to the playbar. Indeed, the blu ray handles all types of input connections instead of the playbar (tv, sat, apple tv, etc.). So an upgrade from Sonos on this big issue is not needed anymore!! 2/ on the other hand, an upgrade on the DTS signal is very much needed! Take for instance Game of Thrones on blu ray: only via DTS... need I say more? Conclusion: Sonos, you to explain more on point 1 while improving on point 2. I will buy immediately and others too! oh and just a detail, buying a playbar in my case would mean also buying a sub and a second play 3...

Bose made the mistake of not supporting DTS in their earlier Lifestyle systems. I understand there is a licensing fee attached, so naturally a company may think short term and think there are so few people who will notice this missing. Sadly, it's really a case of getting black marks and negative reviews when your product does not support a feature that is supported by the competitors. So you become bullied into including it after a while. So the story goes with Bose (who now supports this). As an integrator, I really want to sell the heck out of this system, so I need to eliminate the negatives, so please SONOS, help me with this. --Jay
