Thanks for the info Kingy. I have a 9.2.8 immersive audio setup that does full blown atmos and I REALLY like Sony 360 Reality audio. I play the files through the TA-ZH1ES by either connecting my DAP to the RCA in ports with a 3.5 mm to RCA cable OR by connecting my Zidoo android box via USB. That immersive format by Sony sounds great on headphones, on two speakers, or upmixed to 9.2.8. The new Sony headphones are made for the 360 format so if you haven't checked it out yet you can get it via Tidal or Amazon Music. There are even some Sony 360 tracks on youtube.
I've posted this on MV1 thread but I did give subscribing to Tidal Max for a month a try as I happen to have Sony MV1 and NS7, both their product that advertises compatibility with 360RA music in 2 completely different way, come at the same time. It's an interesting experience for sure. Not always better, different.
The MV 1 is made as a platform for their tuning software I think? They do that thing smyth realiser does so you can bring your studio sound literally everywhere, but only after it got calibrated. You can find a review of the MV1 in Youtube from a guy who does Atmos Mixing.
