"Downsides and Future Growth
Currently, there are no sound cards or motherboards with DTS Interactive technology. This means that a full D-A/A-D conversion must be made through an external device (like the DTS-610) which results in a high potential for latency (up to 50ms) as well as unneccessary analogue-realm conversion."

Well,
that's wrong!
I have a ~3 years old motherboard the Asus P5N32 E SLI which uses "DTS Interactive" to output a multichannel signal via S/PDIF and OPTICAL outputs. I have no sound card installed (I quit the habit of buying Creative Labs' cards with their heavy and unreliable software) just using the embedded one, which is based on AD1988 chip from Analog Devices.
