Crap... That stinks..  I didn't have a chance to download the album before I went to work... @The Computer Audiophile did you experience the same problem?

Chris informed me that the ADM he received had this issue and a second ADM was sent to him by EVO that corrected it. So, there is no reason why IAA can’t offer the corrected track.

What he said ⬆️

Well, we common folks without immersive equipment have to be - and certainly are! - happy with 2-channel HiRes versions. But not all are created equal: Apple Music has that album as 24/192, while Qobuz has it as 24/44.1, and Tidal as MQA (if that is to one‘s taste). At least that is what I get shown here in Germany. But why … ?

So strange (not you!). I think Qobuz has it for sale at 24/192.

FYI - I bought about 4 hours ago (4PM this afternoon my time here in the US), and got the correct (I'm assuming) file for FLAC and MKV, but the MP4 file is STILL truncated :/

Did you have a chance to listen?

Just a quick update - I did listen to the MKV files today, between concert last night and final dress for next performance this evening.

 

As expected, they sounded stunning.  The only way I could find to play them properly within my environment was to have Plex index them as video files and play back as "original" (i.e., no transcoding) on my Shield, which let my receiver decode them as Dolby Atmos.  Lovely.

Thanks for the update.

I copied the MKV files to a flash drive that I plugged into my Oppo 103D which is connected to an AVM70. I can play the files but the AVM70 does not see the files as Atmos. It shows Dolby Surround as the decoding.  I have the same issue with Yello Point MKV files i extracted with MakeMKV.  However if I play the Blu-ray of Point it decodes as Atmos.  Any thought why this might be happening? Thanks

It depends on the media player being used to select and play the files and the input used. Yours may not be capable of TrueHD Atmos via USB. Via hdmi it is capable though (obviously).

@Roy Boy, your Anthem would work with those files and an nvidia Shield Pro like @JoeWhip uses.

@The Computer Audiophile I may need to give the Shield a try..  Maybe use the Oppo for mch dsd files via USB

That’s really the easiest route. Install Kodi on the Shield and call it good.
