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

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!

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

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,....

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.?
