Are you really hearing true Dolby Atmos on Netflix, Disney+, or Apple TV+?
The truth might shock you. Most streaming platforms only give you Dolby Digital Plus Atmos (~700 kbps, lossy) far from the lossless Dolby TrueHD Atmos (4000+ kbps) you get on Blu-ray.

In this video, we break down Dolby Atmos vs DTS:X in detail:

Streaming Atmos vs Blu-ray Atmos – what you’re really getting

DTS:X advantages – lossless audio, studio-master fidelity

How Xbox, PlayStation, and PC handle Atmos and DTS:X

Why Blu-ray Discs still crush streaming for audio quality

Dolby Atmos Music (Apple Music, Tidal) vs DTS Headphone:X

If you’ve been wondering which format truly delivers the best immersive sound experience, this video reveals the facts that Dolby’s marketing won’t tell you.

I have a Marantz Cinema 60 with a 5.2 Martin Logan Motion 4i speaker setup and Klipsch 12” 400watt powered subs, DTS really brings the best out of this entire sound system. Highs and lows are very crisp and DTS just has this vivid openness to any movie sound track. Physical UHD discs will always have superior sound and video quality. On a side note, I laugh at the “experts” that only use DTS and ATMOS through headphones or sound bars when all they’re really listening to is an ultra processed sound format with no true channel separation.

Great! Just one thing you did not mention….there are not enough blu ray movies in DTS X…..

@Amir1974 8 months ago

Tried both on my XBX playing BF6 … DA was great in terms of feeling the overall atmosphere … but DTS-X is another league by its own, i could hear the bullets flying near my ears and i can pinpoint where exactly someone is … reloading the guns the clicking sound is just natural its like I’m holding the weapon and reloading by my own hands … didn’t regret paying for the DTS-X license on my XBX .. my headphone is SteelSeries nova elite By the way ….😊

Dune Part 2 with DTS:X track? WHERE?

@Filmykabila 8 months ago

Can I see any video in dts or dolby Atmos.. or I have to buy a specialised film or both . I am not audiophile, I just want a good immersive sound, it should be like, I am living among the characters..

@JoeHeadroom63 9 months ago (edited)

What is never mentioned is, ones experience depends on the media being played. If the Blu-ray movie disk you are playing isn't encoded with DTS:X...you won't experience DTS:X. AND, the majority of movie studios utiilze Dolby Atmos during production. There ARE some that utilze and encode their movies with BOTH audio formats...Dolby Atmos AND DTS:X. Smaller movie productions with smaller budgets utilize some of the other encoding processes....Dolby True-HD, Dolby Digital +, DTS-HD Master and DTS (5.1). AND The same holds true for THX and IMAX content as well.

DTS all the way

Ever since I was a kid, I remember DTS being superior to Dolby. My DVD copies of Gladiator & Saving Private Ryan were special edition DTS soundtracks. Not only did they wake my home theater up but it was mixed in 6.1 I always remember not having to raise the volume as much like I do with Dolby.

Amigo Parabéns, que dica fantástica fiz aqui em casa, ficou um espetáculo. Olha que já gastei muito dinheiro com telas agora sim encontrei o que procurava ângulo de visão 180 graus. Mais uma vez obrigado pela dica, valeu muito. Nota 10 para você . Fiz uma tela de 84 polegadas, brilho e contraste ficou melhor que a minha tv, recomendo muito poder fazer sem medo.( Obs dei 12 mãos de tinta)

Atmos is my pick

@ViperGTS737 1 month ago

i use DTS-X on my Xbox Series X and coupled with the console audio ray tracing, it sounds fantastic

@jacksherman5696 2 weeks ago

My Onkyo RZ70 just seems to automatically play what ever the sound engineer’s are giving it. And I am good with it. Running SVS Titans dual PB3000 R/evolutions and a full SVS Ultra 7.2.4 system sounds incredible. Thanks for the information. Rock On🎸

DTS-X , habe einen Onkyo AVR und bin damit bestens zufrieden. Höre Musik hauptsächlich in DTSX . Atmos hauptsächlich bei Filmen, da diese meistens in ATMOS sind.
