Please add support for DTS for the Sonos Playbar.

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.
 
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. 
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 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....

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...

@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.

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!

Was waiting for DTS to be added to dump my Yamaha 7.1 system. Glad I held off my Sonus surround sound investment.
