Currently if you want to use higher than 48k then you need to drop down to 7.1.
For Atmos? I thought the limit was 48kHz96k is supported. It's just not being used mainstream.
I
Yes, yes, & agree.Can the same player play all of those variations?
Can the same sound system reproduce all of them?
If not, they are not compatible.
Edison Cylinders and discs were not compatible, so the problem has been around for over a century. My system wonāt play piano rolls or Elcassettes, or, just to be inclusive, MIDI files.And if they change it, we will have yet another incompatibility in surround.
Incompatibilities are the thing I hate most in audio.
The only time I was really happy with surround sound was when there was a SINGLE STANDARD. It happened twice:
- Regular Matrix (phono), from 1969 to 1971
- Dolby Surround, from 1982 to about 2000
The phonograph record was essentially the same standard from 1891 to now, with a few temporary incompatible glitches (vertical recording, multiple speeds (not a problem now), and CD-4).
Still I think the higher frequency could benefit for people that who to downmix to 5.1 or stereoThe other thing is room eq programs limit to 48kHz. I use Dirac Live so apparently that's the case with it. Honestly the improvements in room eq far outweight whether or not 96K would sound better. I mean I can turn the processing off If I want, but sort of defeats the purpose.
Dirac Live is restricted to 48K output. I suspect Audyysey and AccuEQ as well, maybe others but don't know which ones.What room correction plugin or app is restricting to 48k?
Something older perhaps? That's unexpected.
