Popular Post jrobbins50 Posted December 23, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 23, 2022 @bobfa, thanks for a great article. Welcome to this fun new way to listen to music! I’m glad you are enjoying it. As a @mitchcofan myself, I look forward to your tale of working with Mitch on optimizing your system with DSP. I use Audiolense XO and have been very pleased with the results. I have a 5.1.2 setup. With the right Atmos tracks, the immersive effect with just 5.1.2 can be substantially different than legacy 5.1 multichannel material. And then, there’s a whole new set of music that is out in Atmos that never got the legacy multichannel treatment to begin with. Pretty cool. One thing of potential usefulness for Roon fans of an eight -channel 5.1.2 Atmos array over the optimal 7.1.4 or higher is that Roon supports eight channels. As I find albums on Apple Music that I want to play multiple times, I use Audacity to record in FLAC a 5.1.2 Atmos playback of the album in Apple Music on my MacBook. When saved on my NAS, the album is then directly playable through Roon. Downside: tracks aren’t separated and there’s no metadata. For @phoenixdogfan, I believe that if you use the latest version of the Dolby Reference Player on the Mac, it will support 4K video playback and Atmos audio decoding for up to 9.1.6.

jrobbins50 Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 @El Guapo, thanks for the tip. I think the real issue is that the Roon-playable album file is one long track for the entire album. My recording method doesn’t create a timing reference for tracks. Are you suggesting that the app can “listen” through an album for each track, break them up and apply the metadata?
