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?

      It's been in consideration for five months now, HOW MUCH LONGER DO WE HAVE TO WAIT?? I truely love the sound bar but it is pointless without DTS support!

      Please add my vote for DTS to be added to Playbar - a superb piece of equipment but underperforms because it cannot play Blu-Rays the way they were meant to be heard - Sonos, please act quickly on this

      Wow, almost just bought a couple Play 3's to add on to my home theater setup. Thanks but no thanks, I was surprised at how simplistic the Sonos surround setup was but no DTS = too good to be true. Sonos, you've already lost my business but for future customers I would advise you to add a standard feature for home entertainment for such a bold asking price.

      Yesterday I was only one click away from buying the playbar (for 620,-€), but did not finish... I´m really not sure with buying a (part of a) cinema system which is not able to play DTS files. Although I would buy it without the 2 Play3s, I want to be able to upgrade to a 5.0/5.1 system later on! So please, let us know what your plans are. one of the crowd

      +1 on the DTS. I just get silence for about 50% of my blur-ray disks.

      Seems like there would be commercial reasons to include DTS (additonal Play 3 sales). Worst case, an additonal optional small fee for those whom want DTS to cover license fees? Mind you the RRP in Australia is over $1000 so puts it up there compared to other soundbars.

      Would appreciate an official update on the DTS issue. If license costs are the reason for not having it implemented yet, I also second the idea of an (not sooo costly) in-app purchase for the DTS support.

      everyone is talking about licence costs but how much are we really talking about here ? if sony can knock this out for £268 for a blue ray / amp / 5.1 speaker system then a DTS licence cant cost much surely ? http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B007NXA9KI Ive invested in soundbar and 2 play 3's for the rears. I have the money waiting for the sub but holding off until this is sorted. If they decide it will only be available in 'Playbar 2' then Ill be voting with my feet.

      I was seriously considering purchasing the complete system (playbar/play:3's/sub) until I dug a little deeper regarding sound formats supported. What I have found is not very encouraging news for DTS playback and a soon to be released update for stereo playback of music. These are things that should be expected out of the box at this price point. I think my money will be better spent on this Yamaha system http://usa.yamaha.com/products/audio-visual/hometheater-systems/digital-sound-projector/ysp-4300_u/ I plan on waiting a bit longer before making a purchase but more than likely Sonos will not be getting a dime from me unless they address these flaws.
