As of May 15th, 2024, Disney+ subscribers with select AV hardware will be able to experience Queen Rock Montreal alongside 18 Marvel movies with IMAX Enhanced sound. This marks the first time that the DTS:X immersive audio format will be available via a major streaming service. At launch, only select Smart TVs can pass the DTS:X Audio to an AV receiver or soundbar. Will this limitation make DTS:X irrelevant in the Dolby Atmos era?
Not so fast. I just tested the Queen Montreal concert streaming on Disney+ using his Marantz AV 10 processor, Sony Bravia 85" X90L and Apple TV Gen3 and was able to pass IMAX Enhanced but only the Dolby Atmos soundtrack. As of right now, Apple has not announced support for DTS:X on Gen3 streaming platforms. The only external streamer rumored to currently support DTS:X streaming is Nvidia Shield. 2023 Model year Sony TVs don't seem to support DTS:X and it's unclear which models on the market from other brands do.
