I think this is a thread that needs started. I find, that I, and many others have some confusion about music releases that claim to be in Atmos format. Our question (for those of us that don't fully understand all of the terminology) is this. And, I will start with my scenario...
I have a standard 5.1 system. Non Atmos.
When I buy a typical DVD-Audio (for example), I can enjoy high resolution surround in 5.1 as a result of my receiver and my Oppo.
So - when we hear about new releases that boast Atmos. Our question is this....
How will our standard 5.1 systems handle the audio of these Atmos releases? In essence, will we hear 5.1 (not Atmos) in high resolution? Or will it be some other non superior audio experience?
Sorry for the NOOB talk, but I...among many others simply do not understand this. And.....some are not purchasing Atmos releases as a result of this paranoia.
