Atmos music files
mattkhan:
This topic had some chatter on the avs thread recently highlighting the gap in MC again
I also noticed it came up in this review https://www.stereophile.com/content/arvus-h2-4d-multichannel-dolby-atmos-digital-processor-page-2 as something MC couldn't handle (though problems are unspecified). Atmos music seems to be on the up so seems like a gap to close out to me.
JimH:
Atmos is Dolby and proprietary. Bitstreaming should work if the device supports it.
mattkhan:
Hendrik clearly says MC does not support this

Anyway my point was just to highlight a negative comment on MC I noticed in the "press" recently. I have no interest in the feature myself.
EnglishTiger:
Right now MC is playing conventional 2 channel 24/48Khz Flac files in 7.1.4 Surround Sound, via HDMI, on my Dolby Atmos Equiped Samsung harmon/kardon soundbar with Surround Sound Upmixing switched on in Dolby Access for Home Theater. But if I was to switch to playing the MKV created from my Beatles Abbey Road 50th Aniversary DVD and selected the right audio stream the Atmos Prosessor would cut in.
The author of that article you linked to got something slightly wrong about the Dolby Access Ap for windows, Access for Headphones is free Access for Home Theater is the one you have to pay for.

I believe the author is https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?action=profile;u=70017 so assume he can see this and could comment further
