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?

      You can bet it is a large part of the problem, if not the entire problem. That's why comments like "I'm going to sell all my Sonos junk because they don't support DTS" are not helpful, especially when we don't know the whole story. DTS might take comments like that as encouragement for them to NOT license their technology, hoping to lure away customers to their system. I for one will continue to support Sonos as the best available product and hope that they will be able to eventually incorporate DTS.

      I will probably return the Playbar without DTS. Please add it.

      This... is mandatory. I cannot believe that a premium product like Sonos (and don't forget the premium pricing that comes with it) doesn't support a soundindustry standard. Heck, I bought Game of Thrones S1+2 this week and it doesn't even has Dolby! It's DTS-only. And while DTS-only should make me smile, it made me worried instead. Very woried

      With the launch of PLAY:1, two of my family members are looking to adopt SONOS for the first time. "Is the PLAY:1 any good?" "yes, it's great". "how about the PLAY:5?" "sounds pretty amazing, especially it paired" "I'm going to buy loads of this stuff, think I should get a PLAYBAR too?" "no, don't buy a PLAYBAR...I don't recommend those".
      I am no longer active on these forums, DM me if you have a question, I'd be happy to help.

      If they solve this then Ill buy 2 x Play 1s in a flash and use my 2 x Play 3s elsewhere. Until then I just have to cross my fingers, but the silence/non-committal response is getting increasingly worrisome
