Apple macOS Seqouia 15.0 Beta Dolby Atmos HDMI Passthrough

Finally, Apple has updated macOS to support Dolby Atmos Passthrough. This is NOT like the LPCM conversion retaining Dolby Atmos Metadata(Dolby MAT2.0) over on the Apple TV 4K. The lossy Atmos/DD+ signal from the Apple Music app and the Apple TV app in macOS Sequoia is sent out over HDMI in a bitstream. I'll experiment with other apps soon.

That Dolby Offset is killing me. Tidal app for Mac hasn't been updated for Dolby Atmos. I'd be surprised if Apple allows it to output Dolby Atmos bitstream.

QuickTime Player and VLC apps would not output DD or Dolby Atmos bitstreams. So, just Apple TV app and Apple Music apps so far that I can see.
