Like i already set begore i do not want extra software and equipment and other line outputs. I want software from Apple giving a choice between bitstream to an AVR and the already present spatial dolby atmos for headphones and internal speakers.
Friend, we are in the same boat. I would love to play straight from my Mac into my AVR and get Atmos. Tell me, What make and model is your AVR? How many speaker outputs does your AVR have? How many speakers can you connect to it? If it’s only 7.1, I don’t think that Atmos is going to do you much good.Like i already set begore i do not want extra software and equipment and other line outputs.

I have a Denon 6700h with 11.1 speakers, not ready dolby atmos, but with 4 height speakers I can also play my surround Music in Auro 3D, very niceFriend, we are in the same boat.

For myself, I am going to try one of the creative workarounds that our fellow members have outlined. I just acquired a new mac Mini, which is the most expensive part for me. My summer project will be to build this Atmos system on the cheap.
But the 6700h does Atmos, does it not?I have a Denon 6700h with 11.1 speakers, not ready dolby atmos, but with 4 height speakers I can also play my surround Music in Auro 3D, very nice
Sorry i was not very clear, surely my AVR does Dolby Atmos, but i heave no Dolby Atmos ceiling speakers, i use four B&W mkv1 speakers for the height, two placed so high possible right above the fronts, and two beside me on the listening position, all speakers are because of the Auro 3d settings directed in a position about 1 meter before my ears place in the listening chairBut the 6700h does Atmos, does it not?
I mean this is unrelated to playback on the Mac, but seems like you're saying the AVR won't do Atmos.
Ah, OK. I get it. My ceiling speakers are all mounted to the walls now except one that is mounted to the ceiling. I can't get much height because of a sloped roof. But the Dirac Live seems to do a pretty good job of compensating.Sorry i was not very clear, surely my AVR does Dolby Atmos, but i heave no Dolby Atmos ceiling speakers, i use four B&W mkv1 speakers for the height, two placed so high possible right above the fronts, and two beside me on the listening position, all speakers are because of the Auro 3d settings directed in a position about 1 meter before my ears place in the listening chair
thanks for your question

It sounds like you have a great system Peter! I’m just curious, have you considered adding a “voice of God” speaker and do you use Auromatic upmixing? Also, what went into your decision to set up your system for Auro 3D versus going with the more standard Dolby Atmos?Sorry i was not very clear, surely my AVR does Dolby Atmos, but i heave no Dolby Atmos ceiling speakers, i use four B&W mkv1 speakers for the height, two placed so high possible right above the fronts, and two beside me on the listening position, all speakers are because of the Auro 3d settings directed in a position about 1 meter before my ears place in the listening chair

I read about before my upgrading, but i had to compromise between the room possibilities and the equipment. I had before upgrading a NAD T758; was always satisfied about NAD, but my dealer did a great offer for thd Denon 6700 h, and i have all for more than 40 years B&W speakers, and reading on internet choosing for tge B&W mkv2 is heigt is also a good compromise. I did tge setup complete manual, eith a DB app.It sounds like you have a great system Peter! I’m just curious, have you considered adding a “voice of God” speaker and do you use Auromatic upmixing?

Most excellent Peter. You sound like a happy man.I read about before my upgrading, but i had to compromise between the room possibilities and the equipment.

i am very satisfied, cable television, Blu ray player, thorens Td 160 and Apple tv are the main sources.
This was a part of a post some months ago.Another problem is that MacOS limits HDMI outputs to 8 channels, so you'll need to use line outputs to get all 12 signals out of the computer.
I have to correct this.I can use my system from a distance no screen needed, with Apple TV is that not possible.
