Do NOT Blow Your Entire Budget on Two Channel Audio

I have no issue with your enthusiasm for the latest technology but the way you go about it is more than a bit over the top. If you approached these threads of yours more from a perspective of wanting to share your enthusiasm about something you've discovered, rather than "schooling us", you might elicit more positive responses. Just my 2 cents. 

While I agree @kota1's enthusiasm is a bit over the top, you have no obligation to click on his topics. This topic is frankly far more interesting and will have far greater impact on audiophiles than any number of threads I can currently see eating bandwidth.

Really need an ignore feature like WBF has.

It exists already. It is called self control.

These kids that live on their phones could care less about your "Spatial Audio"  they care about conveniences and portability. They also simply do not have the space for such an obtrusive system. I would never. 

Atmos will go they way of Quadraphonic and 5.1. 

Any real audiophile is not using Bluetoot. Could care less about backwards compatibility. Yep you are smiling just like those Laserdisc adapters back in the 80's and 90s.   

Headphones can deliver spatial audio. You don't need a huge multi-channel system. Based on what these kids are listening too, ATMOS and other spatial audio is already taking off. It costs them nothing and can provide a better experience. Of course they are going to use and listen to it. As the mastering gets better, they won't go back to flat 2-channel.

Aptx Lossless for Bluetooth can do CD quality and higher. LDAC for Bluetooth can as well. Bluetooth in 2023 can do audiophile. Products will start to build it in. What makes an audiophile real or fake?

The point of this thread is if you are spending money on audio, allocate some budget to object based audio. The content producers are "future proofing" their music while producing a more engaging experience for fans. Why not "future proof" your MLP? See:

Dolby Atmos allows music labels and publishers to future-proof their music while providing a new listening experience to fans. In the past, new music tech was locked behind proprietary formats like DVD-A and SACD. It made listening to new music tech a chore, since these formats barely lasted the decade which they were introduced. Dolby Atmos has become ubiquitous among the music industry, not least of all thanks to Apple Music support. Many artists and IP owners are rushing to get their music mixed and remastered in this new format.

Dolby Atmos music boosts listener engagement and can help refresh or revitalize an older catalog. It’s also satisfying to listen to for audiophiles because you can hear the difference between instrument clarity and separation in the mix.

How many posts do you have responding to @kota1 on this? 7? 8?  All attempting to shoot down spatial audio. To what end?  This is the pot calling the kettle black. You are not the target market for ATMOS. It is not targeted to people set in their ways and looking for reasons not to change .

Nope. What I take issue is, is with his overbearing and pushy attitude. As for you, I see you joined on 7/11/23 and noticed you have the same cantankerous manner as one particular member who's been banned many times but yet continues to resurface under different handles. I hope it's not you, again.

All the best,
Nonoise

All I am going to say is I will not even give Atmos a sniff due to the resident spokesman's overzealous wagon peddling here.  This is truly a modern example of a snake oil salesmen. If Dolby Labs is paying him it is not in gear, must be beer.
