Has anybody tried this format yet?
i believe only two steamers support it so far, 2019 Nvidia Shield Pro and the ATV4K. Of course there are other sources for Atmos but I don’t know of any others supplying streaming services strictly dedicated to music.
I’ve just found this so I’ll be listening to more to find out its worth to me.
Tidal Atmos requires the HiFi service from them. What’s your impression?

My Samsung TV and Roku Premiere have the Tidal app, I just turned it on and used the TV ARC output to the RMC-1. The RMC-1 says DD 2.0, however my Roku Premiere to the RMC-1 says PCM 2.0. I slewed the center, surrounds and height volumes the full +/- 12dB and all of the speakers are present but the Samsung ARC DD 2.0 sounds much better. The PCM 2.0 sounds too echo-ey / artificial. My Roku is 4K UHD HDR10, could the Tidal app on the Samsung be different than the Tidal app on the Roku??? |

SteveH , I believe that Atmos only works via NVidia (newest one) and the Apple TV4K at the moment. The sound on some tracks is very cool, others were gimmicky and some were designed for playback as Dolby Atmos. I think yours system may just be up sampling the incoming music stream. Samsung apps have changed over the years and I’ve avoided them since ATV4K and Firestick 4K came out. I’ve turned off my LG apps as they would be watching everything I watch. Bad enough they watch from other devices but via my TV as well? Is that even possible? Most likely! I just can’t have Google knowing that I like Black Sheep Squadron! LOL
