Tidal Adds Dolby Atmos Music

[dabl]

It looks like I've had some lovin' taking up the Kacey Musgraves Tidal issue with them via private Facebook messages. Check 'em out:

(1) Kacey Musgraves - Same Trailer Different Park https://tidal.com/browse/album/186982478
(2) Kacey Musgraves - Pageant Material https://tidal.com/browse/album/186982479
(3) Kacey Musgraves - A Very Kacey Christmas https://tidal.com/browse/album/186982512

Wow. Conragts.

I submitted those to the official customer support channel multiple times many months ago and got zero replies or action.

thought that they were mpeg-H files. But anyway it’s said that an expensive Marantz or Sony receiver will decode them. For now that’s it!

What am I missing, the support page on Tidal shows several options for decoding Dolby Atmos, including the Apple TV which I just tested and it works fine. Here is the link:

I believe the reference was not to Dolby Atmos but Sony 360RA?
Another thread that went off-topic.

Thanks - that would make better sense... I did narrow down the device availability for Sony 360 on Tidal and it is bleak - seems like very few have a real interest in it. I will stay in the Surround & Atmos camp.

On this forum and others frequented by surround music enthusiasts there is interest but Sony did not release a stand-alone RA360 decoder. A basic streamer/decoder with HDMI output into your average AVR would have been popular here. We want to listen to RA360 on our existing surround systems, not on headphones.

Headphones are great in their place, and I am glad they came up with something cool for that listener. But to leave the material off the radar and reception for everyone else is the kicker.

And apologies again if this is the wrong thread for non-headphone RA360.

Agree 100%.

Released today on Tidal. St. Vincent's Daddy's Home. Produced by her (Annie Clark) and Jack Antonoff. "Immersive Mix" by Mert Ozcan. Can't wait to hear the Atmos mix. The stereo mix is fantastic. The music references Pink Floyd a few times, and '70s music in general.
I've been a fan for a long time and consider her one of the bright stars of today.

I was totally ignorant of Jack Antonoff's position at the vortex of the contemporary art-pop multiverse before reading this profile in The New Yorker:

Very cool. I believe that I’ve read a profile of Antonoff some time back in the New York Times.

St. Vincent’s uncle is jazz guitarist Tuck Andress(Tuck and Patti).

Hi all! I'm looking for a straightforward way to control TIDAL atmos playback from my Android phone on my TX-NR6050 Receiver.

It's not the worst thing to turn on my TV and navigate those menus to play my music but it's not ideal. The best luck I've had with this is using an iPad with "control speaker" in Apple Music. I was looking at TIDAL Connect but it doesn't seem like I have any hardware that supports it. It seems like there are a lot of dead ends when trying to get a device to play surround, Airplay / Chromecast both tend to play stereo. Does anyone have any leads or good threads I should look at?

Aside: has anyone written a guide for a simple well supported surround streaming setup?
