A recent update has made Sonos’ audio gear even better.
The latest update of the Sonos S2 app is now available to all home users, adding new features, including DTS Digital Surround support. If automatic updates are not enabled in the Sonos app, you can install new features by going to Settings > System > System Updates > Check for Updates in the in-app System Settings menu.
The “Hollywood at home” trend continues to dominate the world, with the number of films debuting on streaming services tripling in the past year. In consideration, DTS Digital Surround decoding has been added to Sonos devices to ensure that all content sounds incredible.
The DTS support elevates compatible content from streaming providers and makes Blu-Ray discs, game consoles, and other devices sound better.
