Playing TIDAL Dolby Atmos tracks

[Michele B.]

Hello,

 

has anybody tried to play Dolby Atmos tracks through ifs-tidal-connect via HDMI?

ifs-tidal-connect works great with my Topping D90 MQA USB DAC but lately i noticed an increasing number of TIDAL releases both in MQA and Dolby Atmos.

 

My Yamaha RX A870 AV amplifier is able to decode Dolby Atmos and the spatial sound is very attractive.

I figured out that there is an option --codec-atmos that sounds to go in that direction.

 

I've create a new service with the following options but so far i can get a signal in PCM only, not Dolby Atmos.

It would be great get the job done.

 

Thank you in advance
