Oh I see now, sweet!
I’m waiting to see (make sure) what the upcoming top of the line Denon AVR supports here. I’m due an AVR upgrade.

One of the few 360 receivers.
The X3800H supports it, regarding to the website.

I haven't read this yet but it might have some useful info in it for you.

Nice read, thanks!
After the very technical details of:
“and the carpet smelled like somebody else’s feet”
I found it particularly interesting that it’s built in Japan, not China or Vietnam.
That would be a huge upgrade from my old Marantz!
Cost: $6,500.00 + Weight: 70.5lbs (32Kg) + Power Consumption: 900watts = Madness!

Wrong thread? I don't see any off topic except yours.
I can vouch for this too. Tried my firestick as well on my Marantz capable AVR. Useless device….
Sorry, misunderstood your post. Carry on!!

I seem to remember there were hardware playback compatibility issues when (lossy) Dolby Atmos streaming first appeared...
He’s not saying we are off topic, he just wants to put this thread in evidence or “sticky” by the admins
Thinking I might just be OK with this Denon model.
It says on the back it's made in Japan, and, if I only end up doing a 5.1.4 system anyway
Anyone tried this one out with MPEG H/360RA?

I wonder if it's able to play multi-channel audio files via a USB or network connected HDD.
Yes, I have the new Marantz Cinema 50. Same processor etc.Thinking I might just be OK with this Denon model.

MPEG-H decoding works fine. But at the moment only with NVIDIA SHIELD and an app called IRZ MPEG-H Player that can bitstream MPEG-H directly over HDMI. A bit difficult to setup, because it can only be configured with json config file to playback files from a local web server. And it only accepts MHM1 encoded MPEG-H files. Not MHA1 encoded MPEG-H that Tidal uses.
Tidal 360 RA through Chromecast still doesn't work. A firmware update should be coming that should fix that in the near future, probably together with the Dirac Live update.
