so DTS X is as good as actual dolby atmos material or better.
that's great news
thinking of buying some 4k movies and some have DTS X and i wanted to make sure they are just as good as dolby atmos as now i am spoiled
thx guys
I'm not sure that's what MB actually said and it's certainly not my experience. Neither compare to 'the real thing' IME.
I’ve actually found some neural x tracks to be better than the real thing (interstellar is a good example)
I agree, Interstellar does sound superb with Neural X, but you can hardly say it's better than the real thing as Interstellar hasn't ever been released with DTS:X to the best of my knowledge.
Nolan doesn't use any form of overhead audio in his films, just 5.1 DTS HD, which to me is a shame. Neural employed on Interstellar is very good indeed.I agree, Interstellar does sound superb with Neural X, but you can hardly say it's better than the real thing as Interstellar hasn't ever been released with DTS:X to the best of my knowledge.
IMHO, it's not a case as to whether Dolby Atmos is better or worse than DTS-X - there are really good and very lacklustre tracks on various discs, it's all to do with the audio mixing and post-production. Most studios opt for Atmos for their tracks, others prefer DTS-X mix. It doesn't really matter, it's how they've done it and how it performs during play.
My own, highly subjective, experience with DTS-X is that it appears more consistently good than Atmos. Anybody familiar with some of the "Atmouse" mixes on Marvel movies will know what I mean, some Atmos tracks just don't seem to have taken advantage of the medium, while every DTS-X track I've heard has been thrilling. Highlights for me would be The Incredible Hulk, and the Harry Potter UHD Boxset. Both carry DTS-X tracks and the sense of immersion and object placement rivals anything I've heard on an Atmos track.

true, although until DTSX Pro is released we are limited to 11 channels, whereas atmos can use up to 32 depending on the mix.
But, I agree, I can't really tell the difference between a good Atmos and DTSX mix, likewise, when they are poor, they are poor.
To the original poster, my suggestion of reference immersive tracks are as follows:
Equalizer 2 (end scene is awesome) - Atmos
Terminator Dark Fate (great use throughout the film) - Atmos
Everest (when the storm hits its pure reference) - Atmos
Black Hawk Down (need I say more?) - Atmos
Saving Private Ryan (as above!) - Atmos
Fury (brilliant use of subs) - Atmos
10 Cloverfield Lane (surprisingly good) - Atmos
Blade Runner + BR 2049 (2049 is a v.loud mix!!) - Atmos
Bohemian Rhapsody (Live Aid set is probably my demo scene) - Atmos
Deepwater Horizon (be prepared to strap your subs to the floor!) - Atmos
Hans Zimmer Live in Prague (just awesome!) - Atmos
John Wick Trilogy (night club scene in 1 is a lot of peoples demo - real test how good your sub is) - Atmos
Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom (volcano scene is epic) - DTSX
Kong Skull Island (helicopters entering Skull Island!) - Atmos
Lone Survivor (whole film!) - DTSX
Mission Impossible 5 & 6 (5 is better) (underwater/motorbike scene in 5 is superb!) - Atmos
Overlord (intro scene is insane!) - Atmos
A Quiet Place (excellent indication of dynamic range - how good is your noise floor?) - Atmos
Star Trek (opening scene) - Atmos
Gravity (sense of openess, real test for integration between speakers) - Atmos
Life (as above but with a few more jumps!) - Atmos
Could name a few more, but these would ones I would use to show off my system.
You missed a terrible film with the best audio track out there - Godzilla: King of the Monsters
on purpose! I didn’t want to feel guilty for getting anyone to sit through it!!
can add midway to the list of films, Atmos track is incredibly good!!
I think both are really good so it's important to get something that handles both as they are the two main used in 4k movies today. I think Atmos is a little better with the overhead sounds but they both seriously throw the sound around you and it goes with what's happening on the screen very well. Honestly they are both awesome and you want one of the two when buying a disc.DTS X vs Dolby Atmos ?
I am familiar with Dolby Atmos and love it.
Is DTS X comparable?
Does DTS X have overhead sound ?
Thank you
