If you use PC you will need a bluray drive. There you get Atmos, Hi-res and CD versions of the same music. I know of only one record now that can serve as an acceptable comparison platform: REM "AFTP" anniversary deluxe edition. I very much hope others will be able to experiment and share their observations. My cold has to pass and then I will need some more hours of testing. I do not undertake to give my personal observations of the Atmos vs Hi-res vs CD renditions on two stereo speakers at this time. And that's the first 15 seconds of the album. Also the CD sounds 6 dB higher (need to equalize) than both Atmos and Hi-res, which are at the same level. On Atmos they come from the right, Hi-resįrom the left and Stereo CD from the middle. The first song "Drive" starts with words "one two, one two three four" before music begins. So we have three mixes and from the beginning there are differences. The stereo mix on CD is probably older, but again, not sure. The Atmos mix was mastered anew as described in the Ars Technica article. The BD has Atmos and Hi-res (96/24) versions. The anniversary deluxe REM set has both BD and CD discs of the album. I liked triangles better than "both ears on axis". The sound also changed with a change of listening geometry. If I was to sum up their averaged conclusion, it is: "atmos binaural rendition on two speakers has more space and detail than plain stereo but it sounds uncanny". Secondly my test subjects were exposed to these clipsįor 15 minutes on average. First of all I have a cold and should trust my ears even less than usual. I should be very careful trying to describe the experience at this stage. I would be very curious if others could replicate the experiments and experiences and then have a discussion what it all means. The differences between stereo and Atmos were still there but with lower intensity the further away the speakers went. I alsoĪdded 1-2 chairs for more people to listen together. Then I moved the speakers to other positions, stopping for longer at the typical near field triangle, the midfield triangle and finally the usual home music/theatre positioning. Many listeners stressed the "overwhelming" aspect in a negative way, like in "too much too big". Atmos was "spatial, detailed, overwhelming". Stereo was "flat, missing detail, uninvolving". The test subjects reported a difference between the stereo and Atmos renditions. Let's remember that the Atmos feeding my system via Toslink was the binaural version for headphones. The test pieces were switched between stereo and Atmos reproduction. The testers were my usual hearing suspects.įirst I put one chair half way between the speakers facing each other from the distance of ca 7ft (2m).The listener sits on the chair in the middle, as if between huge headphones. For the subjective, unscientific test I used the Dolby test clips, "Hans Zimmer in Prague" Atmos BD and REM "Automatic for the People" Atmos BD. And here you can direct the Atmos for Headphones sound to the Toslink output (and concurrently to the headphones stereo output of the controller).

X Box One uses the same app as Windows 10. If you don't want to feed your system from the $1 DAC of the PC ( ), you need to borrow X Box One from your kid. It also shows on USB, but the app warns "you are not experiencing Atmos", or something like that. The above method is the easiest, but your Atmos sound will be only on the PC stereo outputs.

Once you download it you will be able to access quite a few test clips.

You will need the free trial version of Dolby Atmos for headphones (it runs only on the latest Windows 10). I tried to verify this ArsTechnica test of Dolby Atmos (done on headphones) but with two stereo speakers.Ītmos has a binaural version of its codec, you can check it online here:
