At the moment the system is limited to 5.1 channels (and no Atmos), but theoretically the system could incorporate more speakers with a new Control box. However, the existing speakers will be locked to 5.1 as it's limited by a--nevertheless cool--switch on the back that lets you assign where in the system each individual speaker sits (rear left, center, etc). While WiSA was designed to be an brand-interoperable system this is yet to manifest itself. Most brands are designing for themselves right now.
While the HD Control Center offers both Dolby and DTS decoding, sadly the Klipsch system lacks advanced Dolby TrueHD or DTS Master Audio lossless processing. This is an unexpected development given the Control Center has the letters "HD" in it. Klipsch's omission is especially surprising given nearly every receiver we've tested over the past five years has featured both formats.
