Streaming Atmos on Netflix vs BluRay

@ozzy Thanks for your input.  I agree the Atmos titles on Netflix are few and I've heard good and bad Atmos titles on there.  However, sometimes I also wonder if it's even playing in Atmos on Netflix.  It's like my Marantz processor fails to kick on Atmos.  I just wonder how much better it would be using an actual dvd player or if streaming Atmos is "darn near the same".... I see the strong consensus is that streaming is definitely inferior.  

On a side note, is anyone else frustrated with Marantz receivers/processors and how hard it is to tell exactly what mix it's playing?  I have to open the front door to see.. I wish there was a good on-screen display available. 

dtximages,
Sound wise, definitely better with playing discs- 4K, Blue Ray.

I actually don’t believe that Netflix or Prime is actually passing Atmos and or 7.1. I think they once did but in the last year they have reduced their bandwidth in order to pass 4K.

@ozzy Yeah...  But sometimes my receiver will say "Atmos" when playing a Netflix atmos title.  But sometimes it doesn't.

But, can you actually tell that it is playing the Atmos sound?

@ozzy sometimes.  Often it's hard to hear without unhooking the other speakers.
