I found this site recently and I've found it really interesting to learn how new music is being released in the various formats on different services and on vinyl.
It provides some insight into why people like vinyl (less compression and more dynamic range)
And if there are differences between hi res offerings between the music streaming services.
Also it looks like Dolby Atmos releases are less compressed dynamically than their stereo counterparts, which is likely why it seems they are lower volume than the regular format when streaming.
I am enjoying my Atmos setup and am encouraged that the loudness wars are not carrying to Atmos.
Magic Vinyl vs Digital
What is the best edition of an album, vinyl, cassette, digital (CD, SACD, Streaming), in stereo, 5.1, Dolby Atmos or Sony 360 RA? Who has never asked this question?
