Guys,

i am using a projector and would like to know which device could i use to stream 4K HDR with Atmos sound to my HT.

i m currently using my PS4 Pro but it doesnt support Atmos output.

anyone has tried using Media player like Egreat or himedia to stream 4k HDR + atmos?

seems like i do not have any other choice but to buy a new product for netfix atmos.

i prefer not to use Windows PC to stream because the HDMI output cant really output very good Black color. it mostly turn out to be slightly grey. tried Radeon and Nvidia but the PQ is not as good as dedicated Media player.

i do have egreat a5, anyone has experience installing Netflix using APK with this media player?

thanks for your reply but no thanks for the attitude.

a reply of " you could try changing the dynamic range to full so that RGB could cover 0 to 255" would suffice.


by the way, i have done this with my GTX780 but still dont like the output hence the comment that i made.

if you got it running perfectly, then good for you.

hmm...thats interesting. The netflix atmos requires windows 10 running netflix apps in order to output full atmos, i did not play with the video setting page. i didnt know that it would affect the Netflix apps output. will try it out later.

i finally tried atmos in my AV room yesterday using a computer and to tell the truth, the quality is actually a little disappointing. i doubt increasing the bitrate to 640kbps would have much impact to the overall sound especially for those who are used to Bluray or BDMV files. The overall sound was quite compress and the higher octave was cut off, very much like comparing a compress MP3@160 Kbps to a lossless flac/wav.

the 4k HDR video however has the embedded metadata of Max CLL and Max Fall which is a nice touch. at least we we would know the HDR used for the particular movie.

yup. running 7.2.4 using Arcam and Starke A7 power amp.

i think Atmos is quite common in comparison to DTS-X and most of the new movies comes with Atmos. Even the 4K GOT season 1 has Atmos embedded.

i remember the days when i moved from dolby pro logic which was emulated from 2 channel to dedicated 5.1 DTS. the improvement was drastic and it really pushed forward the home theater industry.

end of the day, the format war are always won by marketing and the studios that support it rather than the technology and quality of the format.

Aura 3D with Voice of God...havent really had the chance to listen to a properly setup Aura 3D.
