BiA now available in Dolby Atmos. Is it any good?
I've had a listen to this overnight and today. I don't have an Atmos setup but I do have an Atmos smartphone and some fairly decent headphones. I've also listened to it in stereo through some studio monitors.
I'm sure I'm not getting the full effect in the headphones but it sounds pretty good. The multiple guitar lines in MFN are brought out particularly, almost to the extent they become slightly distracting, but separation is very clear and impressive as you would expect. Brothers in Arms works particularly well and so does the Man's Too Strong, feels like Guy being in comfortable ground mixing here.
The mix on a stereo setup sounds really good. You can tell it is a new mix, sounds very crisp but faithful to the original and thus breaking no real ground.
Alas not something that would make me want to update my longstanding physical hifi setup, but that would take a lot. Sounds good on headphones, to which i reckon this format will gravitate to for most people with a phone in their pocket.
Be interested to hear from anyone lucky enough to win the competition on Wednesday night. I'm.assuming I didn't win a ticket!
