@abnerjack thanks! Odd that the minutae that is discussed here with gusto that this isn’t a hot topic. My experience is this technology isn’t for movies which may be why we ignore it. It’s the freedom to reproduce the music as the artist intended. Were used to mountains of reverb to indicate space. In atmos, rather than channels, it’s objects. Each sound can be placed in relative space and the receiver decodes it for your speaker setup. Phase and bass management is spectacular, but the aha moment is all these tunes are reimagined without the constraints of two channel. It’s that night and day difference that is truly engaging. The problems of having lots of speakers is an issue, but they have less to do so easier to get great definition . More like an array, with lots of math to keep phase issues at bay. My producer friends are embracing this for the money, but also the creative opportunity. I am in on the ride, and getting my Audio pals here in Chicago to try it. It seems to deliver what we want from our systems anyway, so well worth the time compared to other audiophile junk like bitrate or mqa.
