Dolby Atmos Object based surround audio in a mix and can reproduce up to 128 simultaneous audio objects in a mix, as opposed to the one single channel of sound. Dolby is more advanced, and produces better sound quality at a lower bit rate. There are many possible variations of Dolby Atmos home theatre installs, from a conventional 5.1.2 configuration all the way up to 24.1.10. However, most of us are restricted by space. The size of the room plays a big part of each configuration. Traditional configurations in the UK include: 5.1.2, 5.1.4, 7.1.2 or 7.1.4 - the final .2 or .4 indicates the number of upward-firing Dolby Atmos enabled speakers or modules for overhead sound. DTS X Standard object based surround audio which means that sound sources are tagged with a location in a 3D space, rather than being pre-mixed into 5.1 or 7.1 channels like Dolby Atmos. DTS X also uses less sound compression level unlike Dolby. This means sound can be delivered with more details and sound clarity. DTS produces better sound quality at a higher bit rate. DTS also supports other immersive formats’ speaker layouts, giving consumers freedom to choose their favourite layout” because it uses the royalty-free Multi-Dimensional Audio (MDA) platform, while Atmos uses proprietary systems. For the full DTS:X immersive experience, height speakers are needed, so you can start with 5.1.2 to a maximum of 7.1.4 at this time, based on our assessment of mainstream consumer platform capabilities. Auro 3D First of all, let’s establish that this question is about immersive sound (i.e. sound in 3D), which is adding the height layer (the missing third dimension) and not about surround sound, which was often wrongly marketed as a 3D sound format because it uses only a 2D horizontal plane of speakers around the audience. After myself - the inventor of the Auro-3D format - referred to it as “immersive sound,” it became the new generic term also used by Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. We also have a three-layered system (while Dolby Atmos has only two layers) that gives a much more natural spread of sound in the vertical axis (key to a natural immersive sound experience) with much more precise localisation which can be achieved without the use of object-based technology, which we only use where it makes sense. Everything starts with Auro 8.0, which are two quadraphonic layers above eachother, but of course it is missing the centre and LFE speaker of the 5.1 system which are crucial for playback of movies; therefore we advise on installing at least an Auro 9.1 system. Auro 11.1 became the preferred choice by our partner Barco for the cinema industry because it adds a height centre channel on screen, with six screen channels in two vertical planes, delivering the best screen sound of all immersive formats on the market today. Also, it’s important to remember that about 80% of the sound energy of a movie is coming from the screen, so it really makes sense to prioritise that sound quality, which we did in the Auro-3D format. The typical gap between the front and surround channels with 5.1 surround suddenly disappears when the Auro-3D height layer is installed. So the need for Auro 7.1 for the home is much less important if Auro-3D is installed. But for people who already have a 7.1 installation, they can choose Auro 13.1 which is based on a 7.1 surround sound system. This can be achieved with channel-based sound alone, which has many advantages in the sound quality and its immersive sound experience. We can further improve it using our object-based technology (called AuroMax) but it only makes sense if at least 20 individual amplified speakers (like AuroMax 22.1 or 26.1) are installed, which is not typical for a home cinema setup.

[@willvanrooy6878]

I haven't been able to test DTS: X on Windows 10 yet, but using Dolby Atmos as my spatial audio has been truly amazing. The level at which it has enhanced my gaming experience is unbelievable and I will never go back to stereo again. Dolby on Windows is not perfect though, every so often it will cause my speakers to emit an awful shrill sound, which is easily remedied by switching to stereo and then back to Atmos again. This problem was very prevalent for me last year, but has improved itself tremendously since then (with recent Windows updates). Now it hardly ever happens anymore. Another Windows-based issue I am having with Atmos is my GeForce game recordings occasionally not having any sound or having certain sound effects muffled (I particularly notice this in my Halo Infinite clips). I have an easy workaround for it, but often times I'll forget to do it and will end up with a lot of recordings with no audio, which is really frustrating. But overall, Atmos sounds fantastic and I experience zero audio issues while in-game. Just recently, I noticed the DTS:X Ultra codec is finally available for me to use on Windows 10, so I am super excited to try it! When I upgraded to Windows 11 (I recently downgraded back to Windows 10) I was able to use DTS: X and was very impressed by it. Both companies are awesome and I really don't think you can go wrong with using either of them. In conclusion, with my two years of owning a 7.1 home theater system, I have found Dolby Atmos to be the most compatible with my hardware (by far) -- i.e. my Samsung Galaxy phone, Nvidia Shield, Windows, Blu-Rays, PlayStation4/Xbox One, and a few others. The only chance I get to really compare DTS and Dolby is while watching movies or listening to music. I am no audio expert, but I felt like Dolby Atmos sounded a bit more powerful and a tad fuller, but DTS: X sounded much more natural and realistic, I particularly like using DTS: X for music and using Dolby Atmos for movies and gaming.

[@SkitzerPoindexter]

In theory (and from how the demos sound) Dolby Atmos is amazing. In practice, I don't really notice the difference. I had ceiling mount front and rear speakers for my 5.1 setup due to space, room design, and budget, but then added two big floor speakers to the front (changing the old fronts to front height). I got into Atmos from just upgrading my front speakers, as my receiver already supported it. Even at my relatively low cost of entry, I'm not sure it was a good value. If you're feeling the Atmos itch, I'd suggest trying to experience it for yourself first... before spending a lot of money.

Hello there. I would like to make a question. Is there any difference in the overall sound clarity and definition between the standard sound formats Dolby TrueHD and DTS HD Master Audio or it just relies to the additional overhead speakers to make better surround feeling and just that???I say that the codec of Dolby Atmos/DTS X differentiate the surround effects only or the sound quality as well?

[@DeltaAssualt]

So if I was to get a cell phone to listen to music which of the 2 sound formats would be better to have installed on the phone?

[@lenniebruce]

HD-DVD made more sense name wise. Blu Ray (? The colour of the darn laser that reads the discs) means little still to a lot of people and slowed the uptake of the format down IMO. Just think how much sense UHD-DVD would sound today as an evolution of HD-DVD instead of the confusion of 4K mentioned, it’s like they’ve not even settled on calling it 4K UHD or Ultra HD Blu Ray. This is also confusing to consumers. Of course fanboys like us understand, but lay people who want an upgrade can get confused as to what’s what and maybe not bother or think it’s all gimmicks.

You guys need to remember that although a movie may be coded for DTS or for Atmos.. It is still one stream of directional audio. Which is then played through an encoder (Atmos or DTS) which decides what to do with the audio. From experience some Atmos encoded films, can sound better on DTS and some DTS encoded films can sound better on Atmos. It all depends on how they're using that directional audio data stream. I actually came here because i'm using both with headphones for gaming on a PC. Now the same goes for games, however all game producers use the same Windows Directional Audio encoder. Which means that using Atmos or DTS is subjective and down to personal preference. I have found that Atmos is very much on top of you, its loud and in your face, Its "spacious" is only about 2ft away from your skull. Now with DTS they have a "spacious" option... which turns that 2ft of audio into about 10ft giving you much more awareness of directional audio in games, Footsteps and bullets being the main one.

Having just performed a side by side comparison of Dolby DD and DTS 5.1 using a PS4, Hitman 2 and HDMI in through an Onkyo receiver I found Dolby brighter and DTS richer. The use of forced on DTS virtual X added the sound field immencely. I can't stress enough how raising all speakers to head height or above adds to the over head effect and general dispersion of the virtualised speaker sound field! Another reason DTS X is superior to Atmos is the ability to force DTS X (backwards compatibility) on as Atmos is automatic only!

To help some of the fellas out there, in my taste (with a high end $2500 avr 5.2.4 setup) I find that every time DTS:X is the format, it always sound fantastic and amazing, no matter how old the content is. Atmos is realy unconsistent even if it's labeled as "atmos format", most of the times it's mediocre, sometimes quite bad, and in few titles it has been amazing, "our planet" on Netflix for an example. To round it up: Atmos mostly sound mediocre unless it's Real atmos content which is quite rare(I watch movies/series every day) DTS:X never goes wrong and will always give you an amazing experience (atleast the content I've seen) Last but not least, if you want the topspeakers to come alive, dts x is definitely your choice, but don't forget to turn up the volume abit on the top speakers, no matter which format you use.

I've had that experience with Atmos where sometimes it is robust and sometimes relatively flat and quiet. The few times I've experienced DTS:X it was exceptional every time.

I would try and add more bass and trebel just a little bit and keep going until you get the desired result.

4K Ultra HD Blu ray disc should have both encoded in the disc.

[@rindershow212]

I agree!! And these studios will see that 90% percent of ppl will pick the dts audio!!! Over dolby every time!! I'm so sick of dolby atmos. Just an hour ago I was looking for dts bluray movies to watch, since many bluray disk have dts encoded . 90% of uhd blurays are dolby atmos which im just fed up with. So I decided to pop in "after earth bluray " which is 5.1 dts. And my denon 4700h automatically switched to dts- neural: X. I will tell you right now, I almost had a heart attack!!! This movie will be my new demo disk for my friends!! Even though it's not a uhd disk. The dts track is the best I've heard!! Better than gravity movie in my opinion.

[@saisrinigan]

i have a lx53 for quite a long time now. lately i noted sonething against my belief. i was listening to surround sound with more detail and texture to every sound and when i checked the format it was playing - it was in stereo mode which i could not believe, caz i heard the sounds moving around . i rewinded the scene and checked again and the sound did move around me in stereo mode - confirmed!!!. with 2 ears we have, everything we percieve moving around us , is just our mind (pro logic) decoding it. so if the recording has been done rightly even with 2 speakers the sound will move around us. and now when manufacturers want to sell more channels - new recievers and more speakers i find it not such an effective or efficient solution. spending more on room accoustics (thick curtains, thick carpets and wooden walls) would be more yielding.

[@GearlyReviews]

[@antoniooturan]

i have a logitech Artemis g633 headphones that gives me the option of dts X or dolby atmos surround sound, which one is better for games like COD: Warzone

[@renleux4435]

Did you find an answer? Can you tell the difference by your own experience?

[@JDuBz815]

I'm running 5.2.4 with 4 wall mounted height channels close to the ceiling. I don't have much experience with Dts-X as I simply don't have much content with that format right now. I have more content with Dolby Atmos, Dolby Audio or Dolby Digital. From what I understand, all of those can be output as Dolby Atmos via your Atmos-capable receiver. At least that's what I've read. I also use DTS-Neural X quite a bit as it upsamples non-Atmos and non-Dts-x content to simulate Dts-x. I find that Atmos in certain scenes is awesome, but only in certain scenes. I feel like Neural-X throws more content to your height channels throughout the length of your movie or show than Atmos does, which to me is great. I personally feel like I get a better experience with Neural-X than Atmos. And I like that it works with old dvds or blu-rays that don't have Atmos/Dts-x. Try Neural X with Lone Survivor and tell me that isn't immersive.

[@GMMXX80]

I didnt think it mattered UNTIL I watched 'The Ring' back in the day. I had been watching the Dolby sound track and once day noticed in the sound options the DTS track and thought, why not and off I went. I noticed IMMEDIATELY a huge difference between the two. Dolby had a lot of echo and noise, that white noise sound, and was crackly, oh but not DTS. DTS sounded like the difference between a live performance of a band or artist versus a studio recording. DTS had no noise or static, it sounded like it was recorded in a noise dampered studio room. I couldnt believe how clear the opening scene to 'The Ring' sounded with all that rain falling. I also LOVE watching Se7en with its DTS track over its Dolby for the same reason and finally, Batman and Batman Returns on the original DVD with DTS option, my movie collection will always keep that option there versus the bluray and UHD version for that reason alone. They may say its all preference. Ive since lost hearing in my left ear so I cant enjoy surround like I once did, but my preference is ALWAYS going to be DTS and like he said, DTS will always make it simple for you. My home theater and walls have always had and will always continue to have a DTS poster on the wall, DTS is the way to go, and its less expensive. Superior sound that overall costs less? Now you know who your real friends are. Its like supporting Microsoft or supporting Sony

I only have a simple z5500 that has optic imput for digital 5.1 and DTS. DTS sounds always better than Dolby.

Of course, the original Dolby digital is quite a lossy format, while, in the same age, the DTS competition is better. Due to higher bit rates, and the fact that DTS should be prominently less compressed than Dolby digital.

[@MrBozack]

it depends on your equipment. Yamaha, for instance always sounds nicer to me on DTS than Dolby Digital. However the same amplifier will probably sound better in Dolby True HD than DTS HD Master Audio... the same goes for Atmos and DTS-X.
