I've seen a couple of posts, know it's possible, and I want to explain what happened. Clearly the end result was supposed to be a Stereo WAV but I got a 6 channel WAV even after following the steps already outlined in the forums. I couldn't figure out what was going on with foobar but if someone can break down the plugin installation and what DSP and convert settings are needed (preferably with screenshots) I would be glad to try that method. I opted for the alternative.
I first took the MKV into MKVExtractGUI-2 (w/ mkvtoolnix installed) and extracted the second channel audio only. Got my DTS file.
Then I opened eac3to324 in the command line and did the "eac3to input.dts output.wav". Oh, I didn't get any errors in output only this text.
Other than the switching to libav I didn't think there is any issue with the resulting file. If I was wrong do tell me.
So I open my final WAV in Audacity to edit I still have a WAV with 6 mono channels when I tried to get the 2 channel stereo one. What did I do wrong?
Also, I'm now noticing this bad boy is only ~30 min in length. Is that what the "Some WAV readers might not be able to handle this file correctly." was referring to? How would I go about editing a WAV file over 4 GB properly?
If I missed anything in my explanation I will reply ASAP but I think I got everything. Thank you for your time.

Code:
C:\Users\User\Desktop\eac3to324>eac3to C:\Downloads\Downloads\pitch.perfect.201
2.720p.bluray.x264-sparks_track2_eng.dts output.wav
DTS, 5.1 channels, 1:52:07, 24 bits, 1509kbps, 48kHz
The ArcSoft and Sonic decoders don't seem to work, will use libav instead.
Decoding with libav/ffmpeg...
Reducing depth from 64 to 24 bits...
Writing WAV...
Creating file "output.wav"...
Caution: The WAV file is bigger than 4GB.
Some WAV readers might not be able to handle this file correctly.
eac3to processing took 4 minutes, 6 seconds.
