Please add support for DTS for the Sonos Playbar.

Yes, you do have to wonder what the staff are doing all day..An issue like this should be discussed daily until it's resolved or communicated.

Wow, very disappointed to hear this! I almost hit the trigger on purchasing the playbar, bridge, subwoofer, 2 play 3, and 1 play 5. I guess I will wait until I hear Dolby Digital and DTS has been integrated. 

Over the last 2 years I have invested heavily in 2 play 5's, 2 play 3's then playbar, sub and last week added my first play 1. I love the streaming aspect of sonos and my family happily use the system every day. The problem is the additional cost of the 5.1 element does not justify the functionality. This is advertised as "your perfect home theatre system", "immersive 5.1 sound" and the best line "the power to play anything"! I have a large blu ray collection and we regularly watch movies so the lack of DTS support is a serious issue for me. If I had known about this before my purchase, even though I am a huge fan of sonos I'm not sure if I would have gone ahead. I believe the advertising is misleading. It should clearly state that the 5.1 surround sound is Dolby Digital and that DTS is currently not supported. Once I set up my home theatre system and realised there was a DTS problem I considered returning the full 5.1 setup, however I did have DD coming through from my Sky HD box and it sounded fantastic so I stuck with it in the hope sonos would address the omission of DTS support. I had a £250 LG 5.1 system and I hate to say it but as things stand I would rather have kept it in my living room for TV and movies and carried on with my play 5's and play 3's for streaming music in other rooms in the house. The £250 LG genuinely did produce "immersive 5.1 sound" and had "the power to play anything"! I regularly follow the forums especially the DTS thread. Since the redesign I must say that has not been easy. Can we please have a sort button or a way to jump to the most recent post? Anyway the complete silence from Sonos on the DTS subject is becoming as annoying as the silence from my expensive home theatre system when I try to play a blu ray. An update from Sonos is long overdue. If it's not possible please have the decency to inform your customer base so we can make a decision on the way forward (eBay ?!!). If you are working on a solution at least change the subject to planned as it has been under consideration for a year! There is a new forum thread in the general discussion section called "my letter to sonos management", let's get a conversation going over there and keep it at the top of the forum list where it will be more visible as it's now hard to find this topic and the last post in ask.sonos. Maybe we will finally get a much needed update!

Totally agree,

I have 2 play 1's and a bridge.

Wanted the playbar and sub but I am now considering the Yamaha ysp-3300 for xmas as I don't think Sonos will ever respond / provide an update to this thread which is disappointing given the size of the thread.

Today I decided to return my play 1 and bridge+sub to my local dealer. It's to unsure wether the dts support will come or not. And if it won't I have an 1700Euro sound system which isn't supporting my Blue Rays!

I am still waiting to hear if sonos will add DTS support. I am not prepared to wait for ever. If this information does not come to light by the middle of December I along with countless others will turn to Yamaha and Bose alternatives.

Please add DTS ASAP. The xbox one supports DTS out over optical but doesn't support Dolby 5.1 (yet) so even if I plug the optical directly into the sonos playbar it still only receives stereo. Some kind of update would be nice, please! About to return a bride, 2 new play bars, 2 play 3's, w play 1's, and a sub that I just purchased from best buy.

I'm glad I took the opportunity to look through this forum and read user's comments regarding the lack of DTS decoding in the playbar.  I initially purchased the playbar after catching a demo of it at Best Buy, thinking it would be a great solution for wireless surround sound capabilities (when paired with the sub and the play:1 or play:3).  While most of my media, my current TV, and DVD player aren't on any DTS format, I'm looking at a system that has capabilities for upgrades down the road, especially when I upgrade my TV.  Considering most (if not all) Blu Ray discs are formatted for DTS sound, and most of the solutions provided are more like workarounds, I decided to cancel my order for the Sonos playbar from Amazon. 

The concept of a wireless surround system looked promising from Sonos, but until it's capable of handling common formats like DTS, I'm happy to wait until next gen comes out, or I can go with the classic old school A/V systems with satellite speakers. 

Sonos - if you get a firmware upgrade on the current generation or decide to release a next gen, give me a shout.
