That sucks. Is there not a workaround?

I haven’t found it yet :neutral_face:

Google is your friend

is your country on the way to be listed as one of the Amazon unlimited countries?

Hello everyone, I found this thread as was doing some testing myself on the various Dolby Atmos options through the streaming services and wanted to see how Dolby Atmos music sounded. 

My setup I have currently is Sony A80J TV, Sonos Arc + Sub and 2x One SLs, I normally just Air Play music using my iPhone as find the Sonos App not as good for browsing music etc, obviously personal choice. 
 

I started with just Apple Music, then today signed up for a trial for both Amazon Music and Tidal. 
 

I wanted to get Dolby Atmos music through my setup using AirPlay then quickly realised Apple Music does not support it from AirPlay as yet. 

I signed up for Tidal but then quickly realised you can’t do this also from the iOS app, I found a work around for this my tv has the tidal app which when playing music through says on the Sono App it’s Dolby Atmos and it has a section on the App for all Dolby Atmos content (pretty good to be fair). Sound quality wise sounds pretty good and seems like Atmos.

Amazon music, seems you can play through the streaming service Sono and says Dolby Atmos and the quality is fantastic. 

Maybe it is just me but Tidal and Amazon music sound totally different even through both say they are playing in Atmos on the Sonos app.

Does music sound different when going through an app through the TV vs streaming through the Sonos app using Amazon music. 
 

I can listen to the 2 same songs and there’s totally different effects coming through depending on which app / service you are using. Am I going crazy here? Lol

 

 

 

 

By the way sorry didn’t mean to hijack the thread but just wanted to give my own insight.

BTW for me the Amazon Music Dolby Atmos through the Sono app sounds pretty good so I’m thinking this is the way it’s meant to be heard?

@GuitarSuperstar - after initially searching for “Kraftwork” and not finding anything in search, I then realised my mistake. Doh!

Yes, totally agree the track “Tour de France / Prologue / Etape 1 / Chrono / Etape 2” is an excellent example of what Dolby Atmos music is capable of 👍🏼
