I’ve also long believed any issues concerning Dolby on any device comes down to licensing deals. But, we can hope. My Mac mini M1 can finally bitstream Dolby Atmos from the Apple Music and Apple TV apps. And, as mentioned in a prior post, Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos work over Airplay 2 from my...

Right, which is why it looks like s#%t on any other display when forcing output as I did on both the M1 and M4. The M4 is worthless to me without proper Dolby Vision. They need to update it for Dolby Vision on ANY display. They also need to update HDMI-CEC so that HDMI-CEC can be tweaked if not...

Using BetterDisplay, I was able to select Dolby Vision on the M4 and the M1. "Using the BetterDisplay app, I was only able to select Dolby Vision at 60Hz in either FULL or LLDV. Neither worked properly and looked like s#%t. This was also the case with the M1 using BetterDisplay."

I did not hear a sound out of the M4. But, I hardly worked it over. I did like it and wanted to hang onto it but I just couldn't justify it. Apple crippled it out of the box. If it supported Dolby Vision properly over HDMI connected to an AVP/AVR/TV and HDMI-CEC was customizable in settings, I...

I returned a Mac mini M4 a couple of days ago after experimenting with it. Since my last post here, my M1 was updated and can Passthrough(bitstream) DD signals including Atmos/DD+ from the Apple TV and Apple Music apps. For my M1, I purchased a Cable Matters USB-C to HDMI adapter and downloaded...

The Apple TV 4K and Roku Ultra do not support Ultra HD(hi-res) from Amazon Music Unlimited. The Amazon Fire TV Cube Gen 3 supports Amazon Music Ultra HD. But, ALL Amazon Music signals will be output at 24/192 with Best Available Sound setting ON and all bets are off if that signal is input into...

Yes, lossy Atmos is Atmos/DD+. It is what every streaming service uses for Dolby Atmos with only Disney+ recently adding IMAX Enhanced Sound by DTS, lossy DTS:X, to the mix. DD(AC3) supports up to 5.1 channels while DD+(EAC3) supports up to 15.1 channels. Streams and discs aren't going to...

Apple TV 4K supports DD+ input signals and Dolby MAT 2.0. So, Atmos metadata remains intact and can be processed at the receiving end when Atmos/DD+ signals are output as LPCM. It does not support Dolby TrueHD or any flavor of DTS...

Bitstream means a device will passthrough the signal without first decoding it. If playing a lossy Atmos/DD+ stream, bandwidth needs aren't extreme. If decoded first by the source device using Dolby MAT, Apple TV 4K, Amazon Fire Cube, and XBOX Series X/S for example, that lossy signal is...

You'd have to ask somebody who is actually doing it. I stream from services what I do not have on a disc. Some want to use an Apple TV 4K to play their own stored media but wish it could bitstream/passthrough the signal. It converts the incoming signals to LPCM for output and doesn't support...

The TV and MUSIC apps in the older Apple TV models were iTunes MOVIE/TV and MUSIC apps. The Apple TV+ and Apple Music subscription apps are not supported on them.

Is Denon in Direct mode when listening to music?

Powered sub?

While that is the case with an Apple TV 4K and an iPhone using the Apple Music app, it is not the case using Tidal as Tidal Connect is not supported from an iPhone to an Apple TV. I’m assuming this is an older Apple TV with an optical port as the new models do not have an optical port and the...

Just the two KEF speakers in this setup run at Large?

I’ve used Amazon Music, Apple Music, Deezer, Qobuz and Tidal on various devices. The Amazon and Tidal apps aren’t great. Tidal seems to have the best device support concerning Dolby Atmos tracks and they can be played on my Amazon Fire Cube, Apple TV 4K, and LG C1 TV. Though, volume level is...

The A8 and any receiver equipped with Audyssey will sample signals to 24/48 for DSP. So, if you want all signals left alone, you won't want DSP. Interestingly, the A6 has no DSP but includes an audio only HDMI OUT port for connection to any AVP/AVR that supports DSD/PCM. The A8 has a PCM only...

Unfortunately, Alexa Cast does not support UHD(24/192) or Dolby Atmos when casting from the Amazon Music app of another device to my Fire TV Cube Gen 3. Stereo output must be selected in the device app for output. If Dolby Atmos is selected, the Fire TV Cube will not play audio at all and Alexa...
