As default, XBMC uses the internal audio player, PAplayer to output music.  The issue with XBMC at the moment is that it cannot passthrough DTS audio streams to your receiver using PAplayer so the sound gets converted into stereo.

The solution to this is relatively simple, and is achieved by using the internal DVDPlayer.

Simply add this line to your playercorefactory.xml file found in XBMCsystem:

<!-- DTS Audio -->
<rule filetypes="(dts|wav)"  player="DVDPlayer" />

As you can see, the extensions dts and wav are the common filetypes for DTS audio files.
