Sony UBP-X800 missing Dolby Digital 5.1 option

Sony UBP-X800 does not have an option to force usage of Dolby Digital 5.1, unlike the now discontinued Samsung BD players.
Is there any chance of getting someone at Sonos to talk to the guys at Sony, asking them to add that option to their current range of BD players?

Sonos, either that or please implement DTS support. Right now there is no BD player on the market that can reliably provide surround sound to your Home Theatre "solution".

Apologise for the confusion. It seems we have established the XBox does play BDs DTS audio tracks while providing DD5.1 audio output over optical which is compatible with our PLAYBARs.

Now I understand the XBox plays BDs and 4K-BDs.
I'm trying to find out if it plays 3D-BDs as I have a 3D TV and a collection of 3D-BDs to go with it.

Ah, my apologies. I didn't understand you were asking a question about the XBox, I though you were asking about a Sonos device.

Perhaps there's an XBox forum that could answer this question for you?

Xbox does 3D, yes. (I work on the Xbox team though not in this area).
