No.From what I understand, "DTS-X is designed to let you feel closer to the action than before with the help of height channels, which just like the name indicates, are speakers shooting sound upwards."
If the above I quoted is correct, can a 5.1.2 Atmos setup work with a DTS-X soundtrack or do we need a complete diferent set of speakers and different speaker configuration as well?
In other words, a 5.1.2 system that we initially setup for Atmos will enable you to hear dolby atmos as intended as well as dts-x as intended, with no changes applied to our setup or equipment?

Apart from the codec used all remains the same as regards speaker placementIn other words, a 5.1.2 system that we initially setup for Atmos will enable you to hear dolby atmos as intended as well as dts-x as intended, with no changes applied to our setup or equipment?
Does that mean that Dolby Surround is preferable to Neural X?One of the tracks on the demo disc for DTS:X shows height speakers at the top of the walls, not on the ceiling. It has an object floating around in space. When I listen to that with my Atmos setup the object appears to be higher than where the graphic shows it to be.
In addition, when I listen to tracks with Neural:X the voices move towards the top of the screen which they don't with the Dolby Upmixer. It's not just me because others have commented on this also. If Neural:X is expecting speakers to be on the top of the wall and not the ceiling then this would be logical if played back with speakers on the ceiling. At least, that's my experience anyway.

Did you mean to say that you use Neural X for DTS MA and DSU for Dolby TrueHD, or that you use only DSU for both?I was initially impressed by Neural:X due to its greater use (over-use?) of the height channels but the more I made use of it the less I liked it, it also lacks extreme LFE compared to Dolby Upmixer.
I don't find the same issues with DTS:X on content that is formatted specifically for DTS:X.
My preference is to use Dolby Atmos and DTS:X for their respective formats and use Dolby Upmixer for any upmixing such as DTS MA and Dolby TrueHD.
I remember a while ago you said that you werent particularly fond of Neural X upmixer because it negatively affected dialogue level. Are you still of that opinion?It is obviously hoping for a Christmas tree
No, why would it? Some people will prefer one thing while other people prefer something else.
Neither Neural:X or Dolby Surround upmixing need height, upfiring or ceiling speakers. They can effectively upmix content with fewer channels than speakers present so that all the speakers present are utilised even in the absence of the speakers you'd ordinarily associate with Atmos or DTS:X.

Fair enough, but that was not what I asked. It's ok though.I currently use neither Neural:X or Dolby Surround for upmixing and much prefer the upmixing effect I get from my Yamaha receiver's DSP Programs and their use of my height speakers.
Wouldnt it make more sense to use Neural X upmixer for DTS-H Master since they are both DTS brand?I use DSU for both Dolby TrueHD and DTS:MA; DTS:X for DTS:X and Dolby Atmos for Dolby Atmos.

What did you mean by 'lack of extreme LFE'? Does that mean that Neural X weakens subwoofer levels in your opinion?That may seem more logical but for the reasons already stated I prefer DSU.
