This may or may not be helpful if you have an Apple TV device

Ha! I just wanted to post the same link!
As I have no Mac I cannot look into…

Isn't 48khz x 24 bit the top end for Atmos?

The bitrate would be nice to know

Using the Marantz Android app on my mobile it says it's Atmos at 48kHz.
Work is finally over and I'm listening to Pepper in Atmos. I can confirm that the low volume issue is not present (I didn't change any config on my Apple TV) and fidelity is better than Tidal's. The Atmos mix is more discreet than the 5.1 but still a bit disappointing, not comparable at all with Abbey Road. But don't get me wrong it's freaking Pepper in Atmos!

Listen to Rush - Tom Sawyer!
A revelation! Big Big Big

Jep. Listened to it also. It‘s a bit thin and Day in the life is stereo only.

For the Benefit of Mr Kite is great fun in Atmos though. I've stopped mid album to browse whatever else is here it Atmos. Wildflowers and all the Rest is also here (although not tagged as Atmos) and I'm floored by this one. I was familiar with the Tidal mix but the sound quality in Apple Music is stunning.

Yes, lossless Atmos! Edit, (ha maybe got overexcited on the lossless front!) Showing up as Dolby Atmos - Linear PCM on my AVR from Apple TV 4K!

There's no problem with the loudness issue either...

So it is working on appletv ?

What drives me crazy is that Apple TV search engine is as bad as Tidal's. There are full albums in Atmos that do not appear in the Spatial Audio site (Pepper, Wildflowers, Plastic Ono...) and it's a matter of trial and error to find them. And there are some albums that have some songs in Atmos and other in stereo, all under the same album (Rush 2112 for example)

Woo! I so need to learn to download Atmos from Tidal. It can be done...

 

[IMachine]

I‘m sure Apple will sort things out better. Just a matter of time.
Not all is tagged but searching for Atmos content I like better.

The Atmos Pearl Jam 'Gigaton' isn't on Tidal though unfortunately. I suspect Apple got that as an exclusive along with a bunch of others.

Holy cr$p! Just signed up. This Apple Music Atmos stuff mostly sounds REALLY GOOD!

(HW = Apple TV 4K, to Yamaha Atmos-capable AVR)

Nope!

Albums in Tidal and not in Apple Music: Ramones, Fantastic Negrito and Coldplay's Everyday Life
In any case, not enough to make me stay in Tidal with less quality and double the monthly price

EXACTLY - I’ll be closing out my Tidal tonight and probably Qobuz too.
