I have a 5.1 setup on my PC and a Soundbar for the consoles in the living room.

Audio is very important to me so I am really looking foward to this.

As much as I don't really care about microsoft, I will say I do like your efforts to help make the microsoft section less dead, honestly keep it up. 

 

Thank you.

I don't have a dolby atmos receiver yet, and only 5.1 speaker setup anyway, but it's good to know Scorpio will be future proof when I buy a new receiver. Which I'll need since my current one doesn't accept HDMI 2.0.

Although if I don't buy more speakers to make use of Dolby Atmos, I might as well buy a standalone player with a separate hmdi 1.4 output for sound... My current 7.1 receiver has 140 watt RMS per speaker 192khz/24 bit Burr-Brown processing, sounds awesome.

4K switch is going to be insanely costly, more speakers, 4K projector, comparable hdmi 2.0 dolby atmos receiver. It will have to wait until the Canadian dollar is back up a lot.



Just listening to that demo on my 5.1 pc setup sounds awesome.



This is a novelty upgrade to audio system (since it requires height speaker). I dont have x1 but i gotta give props to microsoft for adding this to x1. Now add DTS:X to make x1 a complete bluray player.

This makes me wonder tho. Is there even a game that supports dolby atmos?

Yes Overwatch apparenly supports it over headphones

And Starwars Battlefront on PC

It's of limited use if you don't have speakers in the ceiling (or at ceiling height) as well. Yet it allows a more flexible speaker setup instead of the standard surround sound configuration. It adds a nice dilemma, do you go for quality speakers or quantity... 11 speakers and 2 subwoofers is quite the investment for the full (well rather half compared to cinema) Dolby Atmos experience.

There's an Onkyo Atmos receiver/speaker set that uses speakers on top of the regular front and back speakers, angled up at the ceiling, to bounce the upper sound off the ceiling and stop you from having to mount speakers up there. Sounds cool.
