Things are moving and the first upgraded units should be leaving in a few days... Who knows, if i'm lucky i may get mine before my summer holidays starts...
Thanks for posting this. Seems like good news for those of us who are having an upgrade done and hopefully they start cranking out units fro KS backers quickly.
Atmos does not only mean overhead sound.
Overhead speakers are an extension. But the basics in Atmos is the object based approach.
That's a difference.
Thanks for the considered reply. I only posted it in the Smyth thread because I know how difficult it can be to measure so many speakers for headphone use - so I wanted to ensure people that if you've only got 7 bed channels it's not a big loss.
Do you have any examples in movies you can give with Atmos bed channels vs regular Dolby channels?
Well, it looks like my Dolby Atmos Music on Tidal experience will have to wait until Amazon Prime Day. This article discusses hardware compatiblity requirements and it appears an Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K is the most cost effective streaming option. I'm inclinded to go this route, unless anyone knows of a more affordable option for the Realiser.

That is good news! When I emailed Tidal about supporting Atmos output on the Apple TV 4K they said they would discuss it in their next team meeting, but I'm kind of shocked it actually happened. I guess a lot of other people must have also requested it. Plus, it gives Tidal a feature that other music streaming services don't have yet.

So how would this work? I put in the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K in my TV and then what?
I can‘t connect the Realizer to a PC via HDMI and then start Tidal on the PC and listen to Dolby Atmos via the A16?
Those of you who have registered at the Realiser Exchange, were you able to obtain the measurement done with the Smyth‘s during one of the demos. As I remember it was first promised to be on the A16 when you get it and a short while ago it was communicated that we would find these measurements at the Exchange.

As far as I can remember, at the end of my demo/measurement session at the 2017 Munich High End, I was given a code and they said my PRIR capture would be loaded to my A16 unit prior shipment. If I didn’t find that capture then I would write them using the given code.

I haven't received my measurement yet, but I would have been surprized, if I had. I haven't been asked for the backer number I was given, when the measurement was done, which they probably need to upload the file to my account.

Tidal did NOT output Atmos from their app on Apple TV 4K. It was a limitation of the app, not the Apple TV. According to the article posted above, they are adding support for outputting Atmos now. As soon as I get my A-16 back, I'll confirm if it works yet.

That was the original plan, but they changed it. We will have to download our PRIRs from the Exchange. That part of the site does not seem to be working yet.
