Unlisted Local music sounds allways better

Just tried that album on Qobuz and the 23 anniversary release sounds the closest to my cd rip no Dolby atmos versions on Qobuz thankfully
They do have a quadrophonic mix on the 71 deluxe version

A strict requirement about LUFS, like atmos has, is missing. This would solve many DR problems.
I guess the 2023 remaster has in part to thank the atmos needs...
Anyway, I attended in a "selected theater" with "selected sources" to a Dolby atmos demo and this convinced me that is a huge improvement vs stereo. Unluckily, logistics requirement and proper editions availability stopped me for the moment to upgrade but meanvile I prefere there are atmos releases, since they sound anyway very well.

Personal choice I guess not a fan myself I remember the quadrophonic episode in the seventies
Prefer my music in front of me in stereo bullets and helicopters flying round my head in a movie no problem
But like I said it’s personal choice

Like @merifon I have had the chance to listen to a professional Atmos setup. Nothing to do with this pseudo stuff over Bluetooth headphones. And yes, if there would be a realistic spatial possibility to install this it is my dream for music listening in the 21st century. But beside that I am still happy enough with my stereo gear.

Yes and me too was on this idea but the demo was unbelievable, nothing to do with Dolby digital or any other 7.1 and other booming effects, also the embedded stereo down mix, even with loosing stage, is surprisingly good and dynamic.
Limits are in the need of a super accurate production and this reduce availability of good sources.
