HW-T550 micro cuts in sound when source is DTS

Hello, I've recently purchased the HW-T550 sound bar and I'm mostly happy with the sound quality but I noticed something very annoying that kind of ruins the experience :

 

When feeding it a DTS signal, the sound randomly cuts off for a fraction of a second every 20 minutes or so. I have tried two different sources (a blu-ray player and the TV) so I know it's definitely the sound bar and not the source.

 

I tried hooking it up with severalHDMI cables or the optical cable that came with it, but it issue still arrises. It never happens with a source that is not DTS (Dolby and AC3 work fine, whether it comes from a file or Netflix), and it only happens when playing a file that has DTS sound (so far it hasn't happened with a DTS track on a blu ray but I need to do more testing).

 

It's almost as if the amplifier that's in the sound bar has a hard time keeping up with the decoding of the signal. I'm already running the latest firmware so it might not be a known issue yet.

 

Any thoughts or anyone else having this issue ?

 

Thanks in advance.
