I first wanted to make sure that DTS-AUDIO cds are supported before I troubleshoot any further

I can get DTS CDs to play; however, not in true DTS.
The audio does not passthrough to the receiver like AC3 5.1 does.
They should play if the player is set to dvdplayer (default) for audio cds.
If you still have problems, I would check your audio card settings and force the sample rate 48kHz if you can... setting it too high (96kHz or 192kHz) cause a lot of audio artifacts on my machine. And really if you want your receiver to decode it, the sample rate HAS to be 44.1, since that is all that can be burned on a CD anyway - I have tried every permutation and cannot get the receiver to decode the stream with xbmc.
Foobar with kernel streaming mode will work though if you really want to play them on your PC (set your audio card to 44.1kHz), then let the receiver do the DTS decoding.
