Do you know of a site where you can purchase .Wav Atmos files?
Are you referring to the ADM BWF files? We stopped accepting them from clients as they're too large to download (a single song can be 3-5 GB) and only playable from an Atmos-equipped DAW or Dolby's $400 reference player software.
My impression is that ADM BWF (a wav file that can accommodate Atmos metadata) is not intended for the consumer market. I've only ever seen Atmos downloads sold in the mp4 format.

New site looks great, by the way!

Redesigned website just went live, complete with a free Atmos MP4 download!

This looks interesting!

Is the Auro-3D FLAC convertible to a 5.1 system somehow?
Also, love the way the site gives a 30 sec. sampling of the songs (wish DV did that!)

MP4 as a container for Atmos (audio and/or video) usually contains lossy Dolby E-AC3 JOC encoded audio, like Tidal and Apple deliver streaming or that are available for download as Atmos demos with video and audio.

One uses the Dolby Media Encoder to get from the ADM BWF lossless Atmos file to a container able to house lossless audio that a typical consumer can make use of like MKV.

FYI IAA offer only one high resolution lossless Atmos album that I'm aware of, in an MKV container, A Bad Think's 'Lifelike'. Too bad all the Atmos offerings aren't like that.

There are few downloads I'm curious about. Have you listened to them? Opinions/style of music etc welcome. Some of the artists I'm quite aware of, like Huber, others not so much.
Not a poll, just informal opinions. All comments welcome! Just looking what to purchase with my meager budget. (I already have many of the listings on the IAA site)
Recommend? Don't like? Be as brief or verbose as you like. Thanks!

1) David Miles Huber - Parallax Eden
2) David Miles Huber - Haida - Raven
3) David Miles Huber - Chamberland
4) Symbion Project - Wound Up By God Or The Devil
5) Qope - Reverie
6) Steve Marshall - Bilocation
7) Ana-Tole - Into the Black Hole
