A hifi homecinema soundbar without dts support seems not up to date for me. Are there any plans to add dts support?

Following a careful evaluation, we have decided not to implement support for the DTS audio format in PLAYBAR at this time.
PLAYBAR uses a single optical connection directly from your television and was designed this way to make it as easy as possible to set-up and enjoy great HiFi sound. Most PLAYBAR owners connect PLAYBAR to their TV in this simple way. This is the intended setup for playing the sound from your TV.
Today, very few TVs pass a DTS-encoded audio stream through their optical output. Instead, the TV or source device converts the audio signal automatically to PCM, which PLAYBAR supports. This is how PLAYBAR plays DTS-encoded Blu-rays.
We are committed to supporting the existing and future ecosystem of streaming video services. Currently, popular streaming services do not use DTS and most use Dolby Digital encoding, which PLAYBAR supports.
We are aware that PLAYBAR is being connected by customers to devices other than the television. In this configuration, when PLAYBAR receives a DTS signal, it will not process the signal. If you are not able to connect your PLAYBAR directly to your TV and would like to explore solutions, please click here.
If DTS support is crucial for your current set-up, PLAYBAR may not be the right solution for you and we apologize for this inconvenience. If you are currently a PLAYBAR owner and would like to discuss options, please contact Sonos Customer Care.

This is a complete disappointment. When people watch blu-ray movies with a home theater setup (Star wars, The Hobbit, etc...) they do so to get the best experience out of their viewing. Not allowing a customer spending between $800-$2000 to support your company to get the full experience from their entertainment is somewhat baffling. I for one would appreciate a more open answer about hardware limitations, licensing costs, and the like. It's just flat out dissapointing that a company that prides itself on listening to it's customers for ideas won't listen to something so heavily requested.

I understand the decision, though on don't necessarily agree with it. However, Sonos must stop advertising the system as being "full 5.1 surround" as it simply isn't, because it is not capable of producing any sound at all when presented with the most common modern surround sound signal format.
This is the most saddest day I have ever felt by investing in a electronic company which promotes itself as pioneer in this industry. Such a disgrace!!! And the manner in which John M. responds that just impacts mere population is icing on a cake!!

@Calum
That’s true for TVs that don’t pass DTS, very few models today pass a DTS signal through the optical port. TVs that pass Dolby Digital is a significantly higher number.
PLAYBAR does produce a surround experience from a PCM signal but I understand your point of view on PCM vs. 5.1 from DTS or Dolby. If you’re interested, there are options for producing 5.1 from DTS which many people are happy with.

It's supports PCM! So a "surround sound" system that set up the way sonos want u to set it up with 99% of tvs not passing dolby doesn't produce surround sound! So ppl are going to hook it up directly to sky box, ps3 etc. Therefore ur argument is really poor, DTS SHOULD be provided. I will be emailing all gadget and tech magazines and forwarding this email and asking them to do a feature showing that the playbar doesn't produce real surround sound. This is sad because I used to love sonos!

@Joel Laumans
We don’t have anything further to share about future plans, but I will say that Sonos does not believe in ‘planned obsolescence’.
Regarding Spotify, I understand the concern, but the key difference is that Spotify is currently on Sonos, whereas we’ve never offered DTS support.

Yes, this is indeed very very disappointing. I was really hoping you would provide that feature. Now my money will go to another system and I will not invest further into SONOS. My NPS for you guys has just turned from Promotor to the opposite. Poor job, really...

This is terrible news... I *just* bought a playbar.... Your argumentation feels like a cover up. Where is the love for customers paying for a premium? Can you confirm that you aren't planning a Playbar 2 which WILL support DTS? Part of the money we pay for expensive Sonos systems is for the service, I really hope you guys change your mind. I seriously feel heart broken as I have loved Sonos products for ages, and now I feel that as easily as you killed DTS, you might stop supporting other services such as Spotify. How can we trust your commitment to your customers if the communication has been so shallow? It surely shouldn't have taken 1 Year to come to this conclusion.... You honestly ruined my night....

Why does Sonos not doing what their customers want we pay 2000 euro for a Sonos set! Is it that difficult to give the Sonos Playbar DTS Support?
This is a very good way to put onus on others (TV) if your product (playbar) is flawed. Very dissapointed!!

While that is true, a significantly higher number of TVs do pass Dolby through the optical port as compared to DTS. In either case, the TV or source device converts the signal to stereo PCM, which the PLAYBAR supports.

Today, very few TVs pass a DTS-encoded audio stream through their optical output. Instead, the TV or source device converts the audio signal automatically to PCM, which PLAYBAR supports. This is how PLAYBAR plays DTS-encoded Blu-rays.
We are committed to supporting the existing and future ecosystem of streaming video services. Currently, popular streaming services do not use DTS and most use Dolby Digital encoding, which PLAYBAR supports.
We are aware that PLAYBAR is being connected by customers to devices other than the television. In this configuration, when PLAYBAR receives a DTS signal, it will not process the signal. If you are not able to connect your PLAYBAR directly to your TV and would like to explore solutions, please click here.
If DTS support is crucial for your current set-up, PLAYBAR may not be the right solution for you and we apologize for this inconvenience. If you are currently a PLAYBAR owner and would like to discuss options, please contact Sonos Customer Care.
We’ll be actively monitoring TV and streaming services capabilities and trends. If our development stance around DTS decoding in PLAYBAR changes, this community will be among the first to know.
Most tvs don't pass Dolby through the optical either! So a badly designed piece of hardware????
Following a careful evaluation, we have decided not to implement support for the DTS audio format in PLAYBAR at this time.
PLAYBAR uses a single optical connection directly from your television and was designed this way to make it as easy as possible to set-up and enjoy great HiFi sound. Most PLAYBAR owners connect PLAYBAR to their TV in this simple way. This is the intended setup for playing the sound from your TV.
