I currently own this Difinitive Audio W series sound bar and I can tell you that for music, especially lossless music through and app like Tidal, it sounds awesome. Very clear and audiophile quality sound.
But if you plan to use this for movies look elseware. The audio quality for movies is terrible. Especially terrible if you connect it to optical input which will only allow Dolby Digital Plus. I cannot comment on the DTS because I dont have a Bluray player to confirm if DTS sounds any better. The HDMI inputs and outputs cannot do 4K UHD HDR. All you will get is HD. This sound bar does not have ARC so you cannot control the volume through your TV if your TV is equiped with ARC. Also the remote for the sound bar that is included in the box can only control the sound bar, you cannot program any universal remote to learn this remotes codes. Cant use my LG OLED W7 65" 4K UHD HDR TV remote to learn and change volumes either. The Definitive Tech IR remote uses a non standard code which cannot be learned. This frustrates me so much. Look elsewhere if you intend to use this with a TV. By itself as a bluetooth speaker it works fine.
I currently have this installed in my garage to play music while I work on my MkIV 2JZ.
