I don't know what Sony has coming out in August. I'm am looking at the current brochure which doesn't specifiy DTS for the DA80ES. The DA50ES and DA30ES have a built in DTS decoder. The DA50ES has the LCD remote. I bought a DA50ES, which has been very nice, although the remote isn't what I was hoping for. I've order a Pronto which I'm think will be the ticket.
