Question

Sonos Arc dts-x?

Does anyone know if Sonos will ever support the DTS sound formats in the near future?  DOLBY is only half of the equation, and with nearly 1/3 of the movies now being made support DTS formats.   There are several manufacturers of soundbar's that currently support both formats now.  I am thinking of canceling my order for the new ARC for a surround system that supports both now.  Anyone heard anything?

    I'm in the same boat, I am considering returning my Arc, it's not cheap and I'm not paying this premium to listen to great cinema in stereo, that's just ludicrous to me.

    I doubt they will, but fingers crossed they mention a firmware update accommodating DTS before I return mine.

    This won’t happens… if DTS is a MUST to you, you can return it immediately.

    Personally I think it’s better to study the specifications and features of the product before purchasing it.

    I have, but I never realized how many movies only offer DTS until I couldn’t effectively play them with the Sonos ARC. All things considered, one hdmi connection, no bluetooth, and no DTS at this premium price point with no sub or additional satellites is a bit nutty. Wish they put the same effort into the feature set like they did designing the 96.1% paper packaging for the ARC. 

     

    Again, it is tuned beautifully but it stings to have a premium product with less.

    I have the 1 month old LG 65CX UHDTV and my DTS gets passed through. I don’t need to check rtgns.com. I have one. No offense meant. I am not a bandwidth expert but that was what I had read at a source such as rtgns.com. 

    You may want to recheck your output settings. I have the GX, which is practically its twin, and anytime I try to force DTS to the TV, it states that it is an unsupported audio codec. Many others on the LG forums confirmed the same issue, even passthrough for it is disabled.
