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?

    What a great opportunity for Sonos to gain some more customers to purchase an expensive pretend surround system, count the cash, and then ignore them all when they start to wonder why the system does not meet expectations.

    Just bought a Sonos Play 1 and found out it doesn't support DTS.  I was thinking of converting to a Surround System with Sonos device, but I think I'm going to return it until it has DTS support.  I hope you enable it.

    It's a pity... I have been enjoining Sonos for more than 8 years. I own three ZP100, one ZP90, one Play 5, one Sub, a bridge and two CR100 (running strong after replacing their batteries this year). I can't conceive listening to my music but through the system: instant gratification, no hassles and failures. My friends still rave on how good Sonos is for the music aficionado. I was looking for the Playbar and other components to replace my aging surround system with a simpler and elegant solution, one my wife would not feel intimidated using, but seems this will be a no-no. I will keep my veritable Yamaha receiver and JBL 5.1 speakers (connected to a ZP90) for the time being. Based on what I learned in this post, this is by far a better setup than the very expensive, but DTS incapable Sonos option. Hope Sonos decides to listen to their loyal user base and gets their act together on this matter. They are crippling an otherwise great product and harming their Brand equity by advertising (and claiming) something they are really not able to deliver.

    I already am a great Sonos fan. I have five zones and a controller. I would buy a playbar, 2x play 1 and a sub tomorrow if if would have at least 4 HDMI inputs and DTS support. You want to connect it to a TV without HDMI? What where you thinking? This playbar should replace my receiver. This thread is 10 months old and still no answer.

    Just bought a PLAYBAR, and ordered SUB and two PLAY1 as I love my PLAY 5.

    First Blu-ray I tried played the intro music (Dolby) but as soon as the film (DTS) started NOTHING!  Bit of reading and now hugely disappointed... especially given the premium price!

    On the basis that this has been outstanding for months and is still only under consideration, I'm going to take it back to the shop.  I've just cancelled my order for SUB and PLAY 1s. 

    Looks like you've just lost a few sales from me and I will now be negatively recommending SONOS PLAYBAR to others.

    Pity given my first introduction to you was so positive. 😞
