Not me, But I’ve been considering it, they also have 360RA with some potential Quad IINM. Need to know more about streaming quality first though!
Listening to in Dolby Atmos Streaming, via Tidal/Apple/Amazon

I'll probably try it soon, to prepare for an Atmos streaming 101 video.
Is there any data regarding stream quality between the services? They aren't exactly the same?
IDK, ???? also here Baggie!
As prep homework, Baggy, you should slog through that 4-1/2 hour panel discussion that was mentioned yesterday. Lots of discussion throughout about Apple's outsized role in driving Atmos, including some discussion of the tech specs imposed upon mixers and labels. (And lots of grousing about Atmos-for-Headphones....) I listened to the whole thing, broken up into a few increments over the course of the day as I was doing housework, and I think I found it more compelling than @fredblue did
). Andrew Scheps is good at clearing up confusion about terminology, there's some talk about the complications introduced by the "Apple Spatial" format, repeated complaints about the volume levels problem, and lots of discussion about the business of Atmos: who (if anyone) is making or stands to make money off it and how, who is getting paid (and how much), quality control, etc., etc. I don't remember anything specific about streaming bitrates, and unfortunately there's no transcript. (I asked.) But I found it as fascinating at times--okay, and also as tedious at times--as the The Beatles: Get Back...

So far Amazon Music Unlimited is still only delivering Atmos to Echo Studio speakers and mobile devices, though? Bizarre, since Fire Sticks have been serving up Atmos on Tidal to AVRs for over a year now.

Atmos and 360RA content on Amazon Music Unlimited at the moment seems to be only playable on the iPhone? Amazon Music on my ATV is just Stereo. some of the 360 stuff's pretty neat through the AirPods though.
and what about the Sony HT-A9 ???
i don't know Pupster, i don't have it
But only through their little speakers, no way to listen to it on a real Atmos system, so it hardly counts right now.
it also works through the Apple AirPods, which for some mixes are surprisingly effective
Bit confused where to post this,but…
In addition to the recent ‘Solar Power’ the rest of ‘Lorde’s’ catalog has been posted in Dolby Atmos.

To me Amazon doesn't count right now b/c it's only Echo or mobile device to headphones.
"don't knock it 'til you've tried it!" as the saying goes!
more seriously, i was quite pleasantly surprised by some of the Surround-y-ness in the AirPod Pros when i was flicking through tracks recently, not great but not as bad as i 'feared'!

Now check this out!! Perhaps another reason why Apple is the tops right now for Atmos...who else does this sort of thing?? It does have some really cool ambiance and seems to be designed for headphones/pods but so cool! Niles voice is very soothing and comforting!!
