I have a DTSWav (1.45Gb) file that I need to edit/trim/cut.
What would be the best program/easiest/efficient (commercial & free) to use since it is a DTS file?...

There is a program called 'DTSTrim' which can be used to trim a DTS file..
The drawback is that you have to know the start and end points - and this utility neither displays or plays the file.
The latest version of Audacity can load a DTS file (if the FFmpeg labrary is installed:Edit>Preferences>Libraries) but it cannot save as DTS, however you can easily note the start/stop time which you can transfer to DTSTRim.
I have only used it on DVD DTS and your file seems to be CD (44,100) - Audacity can probably load that without the FFmpeg plugin - Audacity can also save as a six channel PCM file, but again, not as DTS.
I think Adobe Audition can load and edit DTS files, but like Audacity it cannot export DTS files. so if you can use an alternative audio format for your final audio file, either of those should work. I guess you should start with Audacity, as it is free and Audition is not.
