Has any electronics manufacturer adopted this. On the Blu ray of "The Hunger Games Mockingjay Part One" there is a DTS Headphone X track.
Did anyone hear anything at CES about the future of this system,most of the info I've found dates back to 2013. You would think it would be in a receiver or preamp by now.

Honestly, I dont see it as a issue! As if Im watching a movie on bluray, I surely dont have my headpgones on! More people like myself are more curious to find out about DTS:X, then a dedicated headphone format!

One line of information this week: A March 10, 2015, ATSC Press Release (link) includes the following:

[ATSC 3.0 TV Audio System] Proposal Summary from DTS:
"DTS:X is the next-generation object-based codec technology from DTS. This release is the successor to DTS-HD and marks another milestone in DTS’s long line of industry-leading sound innovations.

Subject to interpretation...?!

Headphone:X was part of the CES 2015 DTS:X demo. Still impressive. No details were given as to when one could expect serious availability.

Looking for DTS X is like looking for X wife who took all your money

I'd never even heard of DTS Headphone X until the other day when a co-worker who just bought the new Hunger Games asked me about it. He has a pretty cheap HTIB setup and lives in an apartment, so was quite interested in finding out more.

I did a quick Google and found out what it was supposed to do...I told him to go find out more for himself.

Thank you Jeff, sounds like it may still be viable.
