Please add support for DTS for the Sonos Playbar.

Hello, I've just got a Play:1 and I was checking the other "pieces" to buy a complete set for my smart tv...now seeing that it has only one optical input and DTS is not supported I think I will wait to see if you will ever support it or not. I'm ready to pay (a lot) more but I think not only the price should be "premium" but also the (basic for this kind of devices) features should be.

Following this topic for updates...

Any chance of an update from someone at Sonos please?

Sonos, John M, we deserve an answer! And a concrete one.

Fabian,  

We hear you but unfortunately we do not have an update to share at this time.  This topic will be the first place we update once there's any new information.

John- This kind of an answer from the company like yours is not acceptable. After waiting for so many months, all we get to hear is there is nothing to be shared. Very sad.

Hi All
I have just received the comment below from John M on another thread (What source of true surround sound is compatable with play bar) Take a look for the full conversation.

No progress at all then, and the same old reply. 
What is the problem SONOS ?

We hear the request on DTS but we do not have any new information to share on the possibility of DTS support at this time.  The status is still under consideration.
The PLAYBAR supports both stereo PCM and Dolby Digital sources.  This information is available in multiple places online but for reference, you can find the full requirements here.
Dolby Digital Plus is not a supported codec because it is only passed through HDMI, not optical.  As you know, the PLAYBAR was designed to connect to a television via optical and does not feature HDMI.

Hi John, How about an easier question ... Can the current Playbar be upgraded, via firmware, to support Dts playback? A Yes Or No answer will suffice. Answering that question may at least give some of us hope.

Sonos, John M, we deserve an answer! And a concrete one.

John, don't you think it's a bit scandalous that Sonos hasn't yet given an answer to a question that was posed 8 months ago? With no satisfying response in between? 

So for me everything worked out great, I hate to write but i have to share this with you guys, so i was aware of the whole dts situation of the system but then i still bought the system because i found some software that convert movies from dts to dd5.1. Just one week earlier i bought a Sony KDL-50W656 TV because it finally can play MKV files and so on. So what happened NOW is crazy because i did a research online for about 3 weeks, didnt find anything and then had the luck to find out by myself just like that.. that TV not only passtrough the dd5.1 signal but if i open a MKV file with DTS or any other audio it sends it out by optical in dd5.1 so EVERY DTS Movie i have plays in full DTS quality on my Sonos System!!! This is really true, and real dolby digital 5.1 no pcm or any other shit. from dts to 5.1. I havent tried over hdmi, this was with files in my network. I am fuckin happy like hell!!! i tried it with some dts test files in mts with mkv and other files
