Best Streamed 5.1/Quad Titles

[scooob]

@GOS, did you want this thread to be Atmos-only, or are quad and 5.1 mixes fair game?
I'll sneak this one in before you can answer. I believe it's the same quad mix previously released on SACD, but since I don't have that disc, streaming it has thrilled me repeatedly:

I love this one, too. Jeff Beck’s Wired is also available and equally enjoyable.

Byrds - Byrdmaniax

From memory this is actually a 5.1 mix. Wasn’t this a rumoured SACD mix that was never released?

No, you're thinking of the Fifth Dimension album that's in 360RA. Byrdmaniax was definitely a quad.

I'm confused. Why are we specifically listing quad and 5.1 titles in a clearly Atmos thread? Or were these quad and 5.1 in a physical disc but now are streaming Atmos? (Best of Youngbloods is definitely not Atmos on my setup)

Personally, I am interested in every streaming title with more than two channels, that have never been released digitally. Most will be Atmos, but the few which are 5.1 and 4.0, I would like to see, and reviewed here.

To me Atmos is spatial so mentioning a Quad mix in this thread is akin to listing stereo mixes in a Quad thread.

But the OP is asking about Best Streaming Atmos titles so that includes Quad mixes.

There aren't enough 5.1/quad titles streaming to get their own dedicated thread, so they might as well go here.
edit...or not.

I guess I understand splitting this out into its own thread, but why is "with no physical counterpart" appended to the thread title? The very first post in this new spin-off thread is mine, about Birds Of Fire, which as stated in my post, has/had a physical disc release. I don't have the disc, so I can't be sure the streaming mix is identical to that, but I thought others had commented that it is. And GOS' original Best Streamed Atmos thread is not specific to those without physical releases, based on the thread title and a comment he made when someone asked about that, so why would this one be?

Alright, I removed the bracketed part. Just trying my best to make thread titles descriptive...

Thanks SuperDave!

Seeing this today, I realize it might have come off as too cheeky. If so, apologies; I was just being silly. I have great respect and appreciation for @steelydave and the other QQ moderators, who work hard to keep this a great platform. Thanks again, sincerely!

a previously unreleased CBS Quad from 1975! most exciting!
