    Many, many years ago - I was privileged to a private audition of a similar technology that a mentor of mine was involved with. This was at least 35-years ago and it thoroughly impressed me. It later became known as QSound.

    I skimmed through the link and seems to be an interesting technology. Will probably do some further research on it.

    Hi Guys...I completely missed these replies.

    The Apple Spatial stuff I was listening was via 5.1 with my Apple TV and Anthem AVM 70. The Anthem showed the signal as Atmos. It sounds great.

    I guess I need to try Apple Spatial Music with my iPhone and iPod Pros.

    My understanding is that Apple spatial audio is rendered to whatever you have. So if you have 2-channel (e.g., headphones) it'll compute a rendering for that. And if you have 12-channel Atmos, it'll render across all 12 channels.

    My experience (running off an Apple TV) with my Atmos setup is that it's really hit or miss. Some things don't make much use of the spatial, or worse, make bad use of it; it can be just a gimmick. And some of it is really sublime, just a much different experience. It really depends on the mixing/mastering.

    I just upgraded from 5.2.2 to 5.2.4 (and went to better height speakers) and have been doing a bunch of spatial listening lately. Peter Gabriel's most recent i/o album is truly excellent in this regard. He's kind of known as a perfectionist so it's not a surprise, but it really is great.

    Been a while since anyone posted here, so I'll jump in.

    One thing I get tired of hearing from Xers and Boomers (even though I'm an Xer) is this "rock is dead" narrative. Rock isn't dead, it just doesn't dominate the top 40 like it did in the 70s and, to a lesser extent, the 90s. But there are still young people out there seriously rocking it.

    Current favorite: The Warning, Keep Me Fed
    [Spotify]
    [Apple Music]

    The Warning are a power trio, and the oldest member is only 24. I've probably plugged them before but this album is recent and I think it's their best. Check it out!

    Been listening to David Gilmour's newest (and likely last) CD. I think it is fantastic, his 22yr old daughter, Romany, sings a few songs and plays harp. She has an incredible voice! Also, Gilmour, at age 78, sounds fantastic with some truly masterful guitar work. He is coming around here next month, playing a bunch of shows - hope I can see him one last time.
