I don't know if this is the right place for this question but here it goes.
I only have a 5.1 system, and to be honest, I really don't see me going beyond that for a long time. I know that Atmos will only play back starting with a 7.1 system. I also know that if had an Atmos disk, and I played it back on my system in my OPPO, it would downgrade to a TRUHD signal. I only have an Integra 80.3 which does not play Atmos tracks.
I also know that MC18 does not play back Atmos tracks. I would need MC20 for that. But, on the Atmos disks, they have a Dolby Digital option. That's the one I use. It seems to be a high bit rate track. I only have 2 Atmos disks right now, TF4 and The Expendables 3. There are only like 8 out so far and those are the only two I have. Since I can't get an Atmos track anyway because I don't have a 7.1 system, and because I really have a hard time telling the difference between a TRUHD track and the Dolby Digital tracks that come on Atmos disks, is there a real compelling argument for me to spend the money to upgrade to MC20 at this point?
I would be curious as to what people think
. I should note that I am happy with how MC18 works for me.
Thanks
