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?

    Just came back from best buy and spoke with a magnolia rep about the lack of DTS for the playbar, the main reason I returned a couple of weeks ago. According to his supervisor who just returned from new training, sonos is going to release an update that includes DTS for the playbar. We'll see in the coming days if it's true or not, I forgot to ask for a timeline, I was there to purchase something else.

    @Wilson:
    That sounds great. But if it is like you / the supervisor says and the DTS support is on our doorstep, why wouldnt they mark it as planned here and calm us all down?

    @Wilson:
    I agree with Fabian, if it were planned then it would make sense to just change the status of this to planned.  So I don't hold out much hope that it is true.

    It's madness, if anyone actually googles the Sonos Playbar for over 5 minutes then they will find this thread like I did.. and then they may do what I did and decide to hold off buying, even though my other half has approved me spending £1,500 on a sonos system and I can't wait to buy it... But then maybe this thread in it's current state is better than a thread that shows all these requests and then they say "no"??

    Hmmm , have to agree with the flow of the thread. I've been looking at a Sonos 5.1 solution as I have other Sonos components I'm very happy with. But lack of DTS has swung my decision to AV amp separate and speakers. Shame , would have been good to stick with Sonos.

    i thought i found the solution for my new home, but was quite astonished to learn DTS is not supported. Will not buy it untill 'under consideration' is changed to 'implemented'.
