Listening to in Dolby Atmos Streaming, via Tidal/Apple/Amazon

[dquad]

This is not a new Atmos release but I recently added this to my demo playlist. I recommend listening to the full song to hear all the effects. Not to mention the drums on this are killer.

Loving the album. The atmos mix is very economical. On first listen of 'People Ruin Paintings' I wondered if I was listening to the stereo version. Turned L and R off and listened again. The only discrete element is a piano part in the rears from about 1:30 that last for half a minute. Some songs got some guitar or vocal effects, or synths, but not much. Kind of extended stereo. But again seems to me like a solid album. So worth a listen if not for the atmos part.

The mix is such a disappointment. Glad they didn't bother with their past catalogue if this is anything to go by.

This was clearly constructed using the multitracks, as there is a handful of discrete moments, but most of the songs look like this:

Fronts-only other than a faint reverb of the drum track in the surrounds and rear heights.

What program are you using to see this?

Wow thanks, I didn't realize Eno had some albums in Atmos. Any idea when the Atmos mixes came out? Oh, looks like 2023

Not sure this is new but I'll put it here

Question:
Can I plug in a USB-A-USB-C cable into the back USB slot on my Oppo and use it to listen to Atmos down-mixed to 5.1 that way or is there another way to do that?
I have a tidal account, an iPhone 15 pro and an Oppo203 hooked to my Denon AVR1804 via analog cables and an optical cable.

Apple Music is the only way to listen to Atmos in 5.1 streaming. You just need an Apple TV and an HDMI receiver.

Even if I’ve downloaded the Atmos songs to my iPhone?

You can use a USB-C-to-HDMI cable to play output Apple ATMOS from a Mac to the HDMI input on an AVR, so maybe try that from the iPhone.
Look at this thread:

What format are the ATMOS files that you downloaded?

Unfortunately this track still has the intro clipped.

This talented couple sound much slicker since they went Nashville starting with the previous album, but (from the brief sampling I just did of this one) there are still enough soul and Americana elements to make me want to give it a chance, at least.

The War and Treaty are having a well-deserved moment:

• Feature story on NPR
• Profile in the New York Times ("gift" link)

Or an LG TV made in the past couple of years or so that can run the Apple TV app

?? Are you saying a late model LG can eARC Atmos streamed music from its Apple TV app back to an Atmos-capable AVR or pre/pro?

Yep! For whatever odd reason Apple blessed LG (only) TVs (webOS) to do this outside their own hardware.

Yeah, I also have in on my LG C4 for backup, but I usually stream from an ATV 4K.

I just compared it to the 400M views Video clip on YT and the intro is the same length. About 20 seconds.

Yes I stumbled upon them. One of the fun things about atmos streaming. It can be an adventure!

This is a strange one.
Top line synths feature stronger on the mix than ever before, but what’s with those vocals? Especially on the verse where they seem so weak and almost like they’re phasing? Very strange.

Overall, pleasing to hear new things on this song that were previously swamped by the 2-channel mix, but also some odd stuff.
