It's going to take something much more in depth than a one liner like that to convince me. "Very different", and "blow away" really say nothing.

I always hated the "blows it away" comments. It always seems that's what someone says when they have nothing specific to discuss.

Only listened to a minute of the DTS and noticed it didnt have the fidelity and space of the Atmos, immediately turned it back to Atmos will not listen to DTS again. When you get your copy if you want to listen to all the DTS and all the Atmos to compare and tell all the forum your precise findings thats your choice.

So I guess McCartney's a guest on the Colbert show tonight; wonder what he's got goin' on

Trivia question for Pupster regarding Paul's appearance on the Steven Colbert Show: Paul just published a children's book called HEY GRANDUDE, inspired by one of his grandchidren who called him Grandude .... what is the name of the Grandchild, Pupster

Fidelity should not take a hit because of a mixing choice. Added "space" is what I would expect from the Atmos.

When I get my copy I'll only be listening to the 5.1. I have no other option at this point. If I was Atmos capable I would certainly note the differences for the benefit of the forum.

I'll give it my best shot, as I'm sure some others will.

I thought that the 5.1 was supposed to be high-resolution audio. Is it only straight lossy DTS?

I think it's an ATC 25 in one flavour or another

one Blu-ray disc (Dolby Atmos, 96kHz/24 bit high resolution stereo, and 96 kHz/24 bit DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1).

The Atmos should be 48k; I haven't seen Atmos encoded higher, so the DTS might arguably have better fidelity... Auro can go to 96k though.

I wonder why that is. It can't be a space capacity thing on a blueray can it?

Gosh, you’d think it could easily be 24/96; I think someone here mentioned with the number of channels used, the many different resolutions included and any video material, it may get tight.

Doubtful even the keenest ears could differentiate between 24/48 and 24/96 ........it's the BITS [24] that count. Pupster, can I put you down for three pairs of ATC SCM 25A PRO speakers? The Wife Factor: Tell her you'll build her a greenhouse for ALL HER PLANTS!

Apparently, Atmos can do 96k, I just don't recall seeing it, yet.
Maybe @Goona can tell us what's on the AR BD.

"Dolby Atmos in Dolby TrueHD
Dolby has expanded the Dolby TrueHD format to allow the format to support Dolby Atmos content on
Blu-ray and ultra high definition Blu-ray Disc. Prior to Dolby Atmos, Dolby TrueHD provided lossless
support for channel-based audio, such as 5.1 and 7.1. Now we have added a fourth substream for Dolby
Atmos sound in Dolby TrueHD codec to enable a support for a losslessly encoded object-based sound
mix.
Dolby Atmos in Dolby TrueHD is transmitted from a Blu-ray player or Ultra HD Blu-ray player to your
AVR via an HDMI connection. If your AVR supports Dolby Atmos, the Dolby TrueHD object-based audio
and related metadata will be decoded, processed, scaled, and rendered to your specific speaker
configuration. Dolby Atmos audio can be encoded with Dolby TrueHD at multiple sampling rates
(including 48 and 96 kHz) and bit depths (16- and 24-bit).
Dolby Atmos enabled receivers will also support legacy Dolby TrueHD bitstreams at multiple sampling
rates (including 48, 96, and 192 kHz) and bit depths (16-, 20-, and 24-bit) to provide full backward
compatibility with legacy Blu-ray Disc media and Dolby TrueHD music files.
Dolby Atmos in Dolby Digital Plus
Dolby Digital Plus has been updated and features a new decoder capable of processing content encoded
for Dolby Atmos. This module uses new bitstream metadata to extract Dolby Atmos object-based audio
and outputs this information for further signal processing. The sampling rate for Dolby Atmos content
is 48 kHz, the same sample rate as for Dolby Digital Pluscontent.
Both new audio decoders are designed to be fully backward compatible with legacy channel-based
Dolby Digital Plus and Dolby TrueHD soundtracks."

I think it's only 48, Mike.

According to what Mike posted it looks like it is limited to 48kHz for Dolby Digital plus, but 96kHz is the limit for Dolby True HD. I'm assuming it is a True HD format on the AR release.

Kind of odd for you to say that Ralphie, considering all the dissing you do regarding standard DTS, the core of which is 48kHz

Can I use that line also, Ralphie? Mrs. Surround is a big time gardener.

Exactly!!! LOL.
