I believe Kind of Blue was released on SACD in the 90’s in a three channel mix with Miles in the center channel. I think this is hard to come by these days on the used market. Would be fun to listen too although I do not need another version of this recording. Between vinyl, gold cd and two different high rez downloads, I think I have enough.

I have the SACD but only ripped it in 2channel version.

Would have to dig it up to actually see how multichannel was recorded for that SACD

Would love to hear that.  

Here is a link to Qobuz (Belgium) where you can find a highrez version of this album, which should be similar (not equal) to the SACd version.

The extra 6th track 06 - Flamenco Sketches (alternate take) however is not on this version.

Please note that this is a remix, and that track durations are different.

e.g. 

Track 1 on SACD 9:22 , on Qobuz: 9:07

My biggest fear/objection about Atmos, is that it is Apple only.

Other players - software, hardware, streaming services - most probably will be restricted completely, or will have to pay lots of money to have access to Atmos content.
