It should work with your Gen 3 actually. It works with the Xmos of my other DAC. Sure they are both not the same but both are about equally older than Gen 5. I don't think it matters.
Do you see Dolby Atmos for Headphones active under the sound control panel where you can also choose from Windows Sonic (and soon DTS Ultra)? What does the Dolby Access menu say when you go through the usual steps it illustrates?
With my audio output device set to my SBX G6, I see "Dolby Atmos for Headphones is in use" below the volume slider like in your screen shot.
With my audio output device set to my Schiit Yggdrasil, I DO NOT see anything under the volume slider.
In both cases, the Dolby Access program claims that I am "set up".
Listening to the same demo back to back using both devices as output, it's blatantly obvious that Atmos is NOT working with my Schiit DAC. It sounds quite amazing using the SBX G6 (set in line-out direct mode).
