Microsoft has only released that to their BD player which is completely useless to any app developer as they cannot access those API’s. Just like when they released MKV support and HEVC support app developers have to wait until the API’s are opened up to all the app developers.
Again, you are confusing things that are not released to 3rd party app developers. There is no DTS decoder available for 3rd party api’s.
That the link actually has nothing to do with decoders. Configuring the audio settings uses the Xbox One’s Encoders as that is the audio settings for what is output from the Xbox not what is being sent to the Xbox. Currently, (except for the passthrough option on the microsoft beta program) all audio going to the Xbox needs to be first decoded, mixed in with the system sounds, and then encoded for output in the selected formats.
In short, there is no DTS decoder to use for 3rd Party developers HD or not. So if you send DTS audio to the Xbox One it will currently give you no audio or an error code referring to an invalid media codec.

Sorry to hi-jack but do you think DTS decoder will ever be available to 3rd party developers?
It’s the last key piece for me and my DTS Plex media to have a full working media ecosystem!
Currently, even the Microsoft DLNA player does not have a DTS decoder. Typically until the Media Player gets the decoder functions added it is highly unlikely to come to 3rd party apps. So there isn’t really a way to guess when/if Microsoft will add one into the API for access. And even those developers who have extra knowledge about it cannot reveal that information before Microsoft does, so we just have to wait and see.

I got the point regarding availability to 3rd parties. DTS encoder is good indication that decoder is present. And BD DTS is supported - so they have encoder and decoder just not ready for 3rd parties.
