"What about the holy grail of discrete immersive audio? This is available from 2L and TRPTK as downloads for purchase. They aren’t cheap, but I believe they are worth every penny."

 

Wonderful sounding recordings for sure!

But why DXD for consumer listening, what the heck is there to be gained

from running the sampling rate up to a ridiculous 24/352.8 ? 

An outrageous waste of bandwidth simply to win at a numbers game!

I hear you Sal. I’d be cool with discrete immersive at a much lower rate, but for now it’s DXD.

Got mine, too.  Ripped all versions from the Blu-Ray :) but still frustrated at the limited number of ways one can play the Dolby Atmos mix.

 

Easiest for me (at least) is from my Sony Blu-Ray player 🤷‍♂️ but I'd prefer being able to play it back from my music server, but Roon doesn't support .MKV files or Atmos playback (at all).  I was able to get it playing back through my AppleTV using Infuze, but would prefer Plex ... which doesn't appear to "see" the .MKV, at all :(

 

In any case, great sound in ALL the formats - very enjoyable.

Here’s one easy way -

Did you mean to write Hi-Fi? @The Computer Audiophile

No.

 

HiFi = High Fidelity 

 

WiFi = made up marketing name
