Please add support for DTS for the Sonos Playbar.

No DTS no buy

No DTS is the only thing holding me back from buying a sonos system. Sonos should not ignore movie fanatics but rather consider them as potential costumers next to music lovers.

Wow! so glad I looked here first! Was going to buy one this weekend! looks like i'll be keeping my £600 and go for the Pure system instead.... Shame! I needed a new expensive hobby! 😞

Xbmc can resolve this for you, set the receiver options to say your receiver does not support DTS then it will play any DTS movie in DD5.1...the perfect workaround

Right, the Playbar is that cheap that I'm gonna buy me an Xbox and place it next to my PS3 because SONOS can't do what every single other manufacturer of such devices can.
Even a crappy 100 USD playwhatever supports DTS.
Damn, it's almost like a car you can't drive on highways.

It may be a good workaround but isn't it a shame that we need to discuss such things in the first place?

WAKE UP SONOS! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!
IT'S GETTING DISGUSTING

I think i'll bye the saber 35 from Harman Kardon with DTS 🙂

Kokki K, you do not seem to understand what XBMC is, google it..it has nothing to do with an xbox! I have XBMC installed on a not so cheap Mac mini and it's the perfect media center for everything including live tv, movies, spotify etc et . Yes we shouldn't need to use this workaround, but before you dismiss suggestions do a bit more research.

User661400... But that's NOT the point I'm angry about in the first place. I know what XMBC is becasue I've used it. I just don't want such a workaround as you stated and that's the point. When I wanna watch a blu ray or my Apple TV, i don't want to switch on several devices and bother with workarounds. I am no McGyer and my wife even less. And i don't want to beome a McGyver and this one of the the reasosn i bought the Playbar as it is so easy to set up. Now, playing with workarounds just defeats one of the more important purposes of buying a Sonos and I don't freakin like to switch on my BR player, set the optical switch to the right device. switch on the TV and now the XMBC, too? You don't buy a car and put in a better engine right away. And I don't want to care about workarounds, I just want Sonos to tell us whether it is possible to install DTS and if so when it will happen!

I share your frustration, it just doesn't look like Sonos is doing much to provide any decent feedback...they are well aware we want it..I just wouldn't hold my breath awaiting their solution..it's been way over 6 months now and still not even an indication that they will try and implement it!! I can also see what your saying about adding another device...but honestly this one device replaces the need for your others..rip your blu rays to hd/nas, watch whatever you were on Apple TV via XBMC instead, watch your live tv via XBMC, view your family photos via XBMC, listen to Spotify via XBMC...the point I'm making and my wife can back me up here is that she's happy using only one device for everything..,no switching to blu ray player for movies, then Apple TV to watch a tv show etc etc Anyway, like I said my wife and family love that they can access everything without needing to switch device and indeed the icing on the cake here is that when they select a DTS movie to watch they can hear it in surround sound..so for me it means I do not need to explain to my wife why that expensive playbar I bought will not play certain formats...saying all this it's your choice, let's hope Sonos does implement it soon..but unfortunately I cannot see this happening this year..maybe not ever

If you're using XBMC, you will be interested in the fact that October's build of their next release (GOTHAM) fixes one of their broken feature which transcodes DTS to AC3...
It works perfectly. This is not an excuse for Sonos' lack of response but at least, it's a working solution for anyone who uses a HTPC with XBMC on it.
