Hey all,
I have an old cheap blu ray player and now that I'm building a dedicated home theater room I thought I should upgrade a bit to ensure I am compatible with the latest technologies. However, I am not finding alot of blu ray players that say they support Atmos in the $1-200 price range. I saw people talking about using the bitstream setting to let the receiver decode the atmos. Is this common or does the blu ray player typically handle the atmos? Am I losing anything here?
If anyone has suggestions for blu ray players, that is welcome also. My projector does not support dolby vision, is upscaled 4k (jmgo n1s ultra), but I am going for a 5.1.4 sound setup and looking to spend less than $200 since I will be using steaming services much more often than blu rays.
