Hey guys, I'm just finishing building a new 5.2.4 setup and am looking for some info on the best option device wise for steaming Atmos content.
I am currently running a Denon AVR-X4500H with an Amazon Firestick 4K plugged into HDMI 1(CBL/SAT). I currently(5.2 as I haven't got the Atmos speakers yet) stream movies and MQA music via Netflix, Prime, Crave, & Tidal App. It works great for the most part.
Anyway, I want to have full support for lossless music(I have MQA via the Tidal app on FS4K now), Tidal Atmos music, as well as full Atmos support for at least Netflix and Prime. As I understand it(correct me if I'm wrong) my current setup will stream MQA and Atmos content on Prime and Tidal but, not on Netflix due to Netflix's annoyingly not allowing pass through of Atmos.
So, what do you guys suggest? From what I understand(again correct me if needed) I can get full Atmos support on Netflix if I upgrade my Firestick 4K to the Firecube Gen 2 or the Nvidia Shield/Shield Pro 2019. Is this the case? What are my other options? What about getting a Ultra HD Blu-ray player that has a Netflix app built in? What about a PlayStation 4 or 5? Would either of those options allow Atmos playback? Any other options?
Thanks guys, this is a pretty complicated subject(which is pretty ridiculous
) and I would really appreciate some help to finish my Atmos setup in the best way possible. Thanks in advance
