I recall being equally excited about the 5.1 DVD mixes back in the day. Sounded great and very immersive. Got a few titles, but soon realised that many were badly mixed for multichannel. Soon the supply of albums dried up too, as a result of yet another dying format.
Let’s hope Apple has the pull to make great Atmos mixes standard for music as well. For now, I’m sticking with good headphones and a decent 2+1 setup.
