    This may be a stupid question but can you do 7.1 through optical and does standard Dolby digital (not true HD of plus) support 7.1.?

      Hi Rich, Yes 7.1 can be put through optical, my old Sony system does that, and Dolby DTS supports 7.1 output. SONOS currently only spports 5.1 so an update to Playbar would/should allow the addition of two more channels of output, if 'SONY, Panasonic, Samsung etc all do it, then SONOS needs to catch up,....

        I've got the 5.1 and if Sonos did add a true 7.1 experience into the mix I'd be tempted to buy 2 more play 1, especially if they finally did what the people wanted and support DTS ..... COME ON SONOS

            In the good news/ bad news department, first the good news: the new Apple TV 4 Specs released this week feature DD 7.1. The bad news is they eliminated the optical out port!

            Everyone is wasting their breath. It ain't happening. Enjoy your 1970's Dolby 5.1 and forget about it.

            What we can do is open technical tickets which trigger answers... From there they MUST reply... It's gonna cost them more in support than just making it happen... At least they could answer here in public? Respect for your Customers is it too much to ask?

            What exactly do you expect, it's been explained a thousand times here that Sonos do NOT give advanced notification of future developments.

            Besides if you're that serious about home cinema then you should have bought a proper home cinema system to start with.

            So not publishing every aspect of your business plans for all your competitors to see is now considered "disrespect", to the point where some petulant, over-entitled whiners propose overwhelming support with fraudulent tickets to force their will? Me dies! :rolleyes
