Es una pena que no esté optimizado  era300 con Tidal para escuchar Dolby Atmos. De haberlo sabido antes buscaría otras opciones.

It's a shame the era300 isn't optimized with Tidal for Dolby Atmos. If I'd known this earlier, I'd have looked into other options.

You should be able to get Dolby Atmos on the Era 300 if you Airplay from the Tidal app to the speaker.

No-one will know until it happens unfortunately. Sonos doesn’t tend to reveal its plans or current list of work. It took a long time for Apple Music Lossless to be supported, and even longer for Atmos over AirPlay for example. Who knows what they’re working on next?!

 

Desafortunadamente, nadie lo sabrá hasta que suceda. Sonos no suele revelar sus planes ni su lista actual de trabajos. Tardó mucho en ser compatible con Apple Music Lossless, y aún más con Atmos sobre AirPlay, por ejemplo. ¡Quién sabe en qué estarán trabajando próximamente!

Hi ​@JMS82 

Welcome to the Sonos Community!

You can see which music services provide Atmos audio on Sonos systems on our Listen to music with spatial audio on Sonos speakers help page.

Please note that AirPlay on Sonos does not yet support Atmos audio - there is no current way to play Atmos audio from Tidal on a Era 300 speaker.

I hope this helps.

 

Google Translate:

¡Bienvenido a la Comunidad Sonos!

Puedes consultar qué servicios de música ofrecen audio Atmos en los sistemas Sonos en nuestra página de ayuda "Escuchar música con audio espacial en altavoces Sonos".

Ten en cuenta que AirPlay en Sonos aún no es compatible con audio Atmos. Actualmente, no es posible reproducir audio Atmos de Tidal en un altavoz Era 300.

Espero que te sea útil.

I experienced the same problem, with a "Sonos Arc + 2 One SL + Sub" surround configuration.

Impossible to send Tidal Atmos content to my Sonos system (from the Tidal and Sonos apps on my Android phone). The playback quality drops to HD stereo, no Atmos.

This was surprising to me, as I had no problems with the Apple Music app.

I had lengthy mail exchanges with the Tidal helpdesk. Very friendly, but no solution.

According to rumours on Reddit and this Sonos self-help forum (search for "Sonos Tidal Atmos"), it's related to a license fee discussion between Tidal and Sonos. The Tidal helpdesk did not confirm nor denied this claim.

There is a workaround: install the Tidal app on your smart-TV or ChromeCast (connected by HDMI to your TV). Then you can play Atmos quality on your Arc (connected by HDMI to your TV set), provided your TV-set is recent enough to pass through an Atmos signal. 

 

Personal thoughts:

1) I think Sonos should focus on making the best possible speakers and hardware, and should not be bashing or milking content providers. 

2) If the story about that license fee conflict is true, I think the customers of Tidal/Sonos have the right to expect a solution in the near future.

 

Question:

Does anyone has more information on this subject?
