The version on Apple Music sounds awesome - great album and spectacular mix! I do appreciate the Atmos retro mixes of classics from my youth, but I find newer productions designed for Atmos to be much more engaging. Here are some others that I also really like: Steven Wilson - The Future Bites...

Thanks for the reply, Bevan. I received similar information in response to an inquiry in another forum. I closed that discussion with this summary, which I think may be helpful to other ATV4K+ owners:

I have become a huge fan of Apple Music Spatial Audio, and I regularly review the Now in Spatial Audio listing to discover new Dolby Atmos music. The experience of well-crafted Atmos mixes in my home theater room has revitalized my interest in music - at its best, the sonic experience is...

The Altitude 16 offers 20 channels if you connect the two digital outs to DACs, so it accommodates 9.4.6 with one channel to spare.

I have found Robert Scoble's curated Dolby Atmos playlists to be a useful way to discover Atmos content on Apple Music. There are thousands of tracks organized in various overlapping categories, and he's actively updating them. Visit his @AllDolbyAtmos profile to check them out, and follow him...

I'm satisfied with my Dirac Live configuration and overall setup now. I don't think a subwoofer (or two!) will improve this office desk setup enough to justify the expense, space, and complexity. A key insight was to move the default control point target curve down 5 dB to give Dirac room to...

Thanks for the feedback and advice. I remeasured with more care regarding mic placement. I also accepted the default target curve instead of building a custom one. This time I do hear a difference between OFF and ON. Even better, I prefer ON. :-) The speakers both have a deep and wide...

I just acquired a pair of Kali IN-8v2 and a miniDSP Flex TRS w/ Dirac. The physical setup is pretty good - small carpeted office with speakers on audio isolation foam pads toed in from the corners of a 60x34" desk centered on a wall. I'm new to nearfield and am blown away by the...

Congratulations, Dylan - tremendous accomplishment! Three weeks in, I too am enjoying the heck out of my NC502MP amps - they're driving a new 7.x.4 theater system flawlessly. Superb quality and value.

Thanks @SIY and @Speedskater. I guess I'm glad now that I bought new OFC wire for my new much better speakers. I'm skeptical that I really need 10 gauge wire for runs to the back of my room, but whatever.

Leaving aside the audiophile-targeted wire products, I perceive two broad classes of speaker wire available for purchase: Copper clad aluminum (CCA) - less costly Oxygen free copper (OFC) - more costly Any functional difference? Related, Revel's manuals for speakers in the Ultima2...

I chose sealed to optimize the ratio of output to cabinet volume. The E15HP2 doesn't appear in the Output comparison list on this page, but if it did, its +6.5db output relative to the F12 baseline product would place it between the FVX12 (+4.5db, 29% larger) and the FVX15 (+8db, 85% larger)...

Thanks for the response, @iw655321. I wound up ordering Revel F226Be x 2, F426Be, F35 x 2, Rythmik E15HP2 x 2. I also ordered a UMIK-2 mic and a miniDSP 2x4 HD for subwoofer integration. Really excited! After digesting the bed layer and subs, I plan to order height speakers and an...

Hi everyone, first post here! I have been lurking in the audiophile forum community - avforums, AVS Forums, and others - for a few months to learn enough to decide what to buy. I came across ASR a few weeks ago and have spent much time here - the focus on science, measurement, and objectivity...
