![]() So please please please get this feedback to the right people and make your support team aware so people know whats going on and xbox can get this fixed. Okay Xbox i just received this from the Dolby support team. Tl dr Atmos working through Xbox Blu-ray player but not apps. Not sure if it means anything but every time I switch from Atmos to Dolby or DTS in Xbox settings, it prompts me to set up Access again. Just tried Apocalypse Now Blu-Ray and Nakamichi demo disc with Xbox set to Atmos output and both sounded great with Atmos. Tried reset, hard reset, messing with setting on soundbar, etc.Ĭoincidentally, Access app was updated last week (?) Switching output to Dolby Digital or DTS on Xbox allows upmix/surround. Since the middle of last week I’ve not been able to get any of the apps to play Dolby Atmos even though Nakamichi says it’s receiving Atmos.Įven trying non-Atmos content and Dolby Surround/Upmix, SSE, etc has no effect if Xbox is set to output Atmos. I was able to get Dolby Atmos working fine on my Xbox One S (Apocalypse Now Blu-Ray, Dolby Access App, Mad Max Fury Road on Vudu App) last (Another example audio wise - yesterday I compared older CD rips of my favourite tracks (from the 80s) to the iTunes versions and in all cases, the CD rip (at 320AAC) sound so clear compared to the iTunes store versions which sounded dull, muffled and lifeless - really got me worried as the difference was huge.Set up is LG 65" TV, Xbox One S, Nakamichi 7.2. They are not for serious film lovers who want a permanent collection. IF you can find the film on a 4K disc then buy that - iTunes films are for people like me who are more casual viewers (watch a film once a week or whilst travelling on my iPhone) OR like to rent a film for which they are great although rather expensive. I take the whole 4K iTunes thing with a pinch of salt as their PR tool and simply download the HD to my iPhone for travelling and as a back up. Given Apple's non existent iTunes customer service and the fact that they loose interest in their own products after a few years has made me question the whole thing. The fact that these 4K films on iTunes cannot be downloaded and can be 'removed' at anytime makes me question how good these will be for someone who loves to build a collection. I also rip everything untouched into Plex so that still makes viewing easy. For me great bass with capable subs is really what has transformed my home viewing experience so for most movies I buy the disc. Yes the highs are better and dynamic range is better but that, even with good equipment, is less noticeable to me than the bass. For example my 4K disc version of Blade Runner 2049 will continuously shake my room especially the opening bass hit but no matter how loud I turn up the iTunes version I just can’t get the same response. This was not apparent to me until I invested in good subs (currently dual SVS PC-4000). The most significant difference for me at least has been bass/LFE. I’m hoping Apple improves at least with the tracks it upgrades to Atmos. Vudu tends to have fairly good sound and Netflix can be good as well especially with newer original content but is variable. I’m assuming it has to due with bitrate for the most part. Despite all this - iTunes Atmos sounds much, much better than the previous DD5.1 sound and very good indeed for a streaming service.Īside from the many above who agree discs sound better than streaming I have found that there is often a significant difference between streaming services with iTunes being amongst the worst.iTunes also sounds the dullest in terms of subtle details (like sand flying once Max crawls out of the flipped car, echoes in the girl's voice saying "Where are you, Max?"), directionality (probably due to least channel separation) and clarity (mid-to-high frequencies are the lowest).And the opposite - dynamic range (corridor width) is the broadest on UHD BD. iTunes sounds the most compressed, can also be seen on the spectrograms - the corridor between min and max peaks is the narrowest.Encoded bitrate follows the same order: BD (saw peaks up to 13Mbps), Demo TrueHD (up to 8Mbps), Demo DD+ (constant 1.7Mbps), iTunes DD+ (constant 640kbps).Bass is the punchiest on BD, can partly be attributed to overall higher loudness as well. ![]()
