Apple Joining the Atmos streaming game!

Is it possible/practical to stream Apple Music through a receiver with a non-Apple device, such as a Fire stick?

No. With the Amazon Fire Stick, you cannot stream Apple Music, only Tidal and Amazon Music.
You need the Apple 4K box for the ability to play Apple Music whether it be stereo or Atmos.

Not true. Apple Music is available on Amazon Echo devices, Android (there is an Apple Music app in the Google Play store), etc. and the FireTV... How to set up and listen to Apple Music on Amazon Fire TV devices

Times are changing. Atmos support is surely an ongoing issue, but your impression that that you need an Apple device to play Apple Music is false.

Thank you for clarification.

Had a brief situation with my new Apple TV 4K this morning; kept saying I wasn't connected to the internet.

So I rebooted my DSL router and checked the cables/switch etc. (seemed all OK, but still gave me the message.)

Had to finally select to restart the ATV4K box from the settings menu and it came back.

I had shut it off during the night, anyone else seen this type of activity?

Yes, when I had my AppleTV 4K set up wirelessly, sometimes I had to reboot to fix connection issues. In my case, it was usually really effing slow download until I rebooted. But since having the thing wired ethernet, I've had no such issues.

mine is wired (usually very stable with my other gear), so not sure what happened, I'll check it again tomorrow!

Well...but you still need an ATV4K to play Atmos on Apple Music. I thought that was the subtext of the question.

Yes, I should have been more precise.

Awesome thanks for finding Ten!!

How’s the Ten mix?

How’s the Ten mix?

So far...WOW WOW WOW whomever mixed this took a page from the Steven Wilson book of Atmos! Bass is a little lackluster though.

I'm sure these two uploads is due their anniversaries. No Code turns 25 and Ten 30 this friday. I haven't seen anything on PJ's social media, nor in Apple Music's, nor in the Spatial Audio section. I'm sure they will wait for friday to make the announcement, although they are already available.

curious how it compares to the DVD-Audio..

(i've never opened!)

edit: if the old 5.1 DVD-A is as active as the Atmos i need to check it out! blimey this has a lot of Rear activity!!!

 

[fredblue]

oh jeez.. i guess i did open the DVD-A at some point.. gave it an "8" with a view to revisiting it in 2012 by the looks of it.. guessing that never happened, so mercifully here's the Atmos in 2021! the past ain't what it used to be!

 

[Mcallister]

Just listened to Ten, holy shit sounds amazing but as mentironed bass could be a little higher in mix. Any word on a physical release on this?…….Please?

 

[Strilo]

I am still mystified how I missed this Pearl Jam release. They didn’t say a word! I literally check their website every day.
