Damn, while I was at Tower Records in Shibuya, Japan, I came across the 50th Anniversary Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon. I have just about every version of this 70's mega wAnder of a recording/project. This was a Dolby Atmos Blu Ray version that came out in 2023. Yeah, could get it on Amazon or eBay, but it was there on the shelf. I had to get it. I'm listening to it now. Holy bejeezus, aural french tickler, immersive, out of word kind of experience. Now I wish I had a 7.1.4 setup to truly appreciate this masterpiece. I paid 3890 Yen, which is like $35.00 CAD.

Spatial bliss. The saxophone in, "Us and Them," is so clear and detailed that a professional sax player could probably guess the type of reed that was used - that clear.

There's a box set of the 50th Anniversary that goes for $300.00 USD, but having this single Dolby Blu Ray for $35.00 is gold!

The disc comes with a good explanation on how to set up and test your system to get true Dolby Atmos HD playback. I had to listen to the 5.1 Surround Mix 24 bit/96 kHz Uncompressed dts-HD MA. The disc also includes the Remastered Stereo Mix in the same configuration.

Having said that, you can listen to the Dolby Atmos Mix using 5.1 Surround, but there's conflict with signals and it sounds off (pretty obvious why).

A true Dolby Atmos system means I have to get a new receiver that has the correct outputs. There are other ways to do it, like a second amp, but sometimes, it's not worth it. I'm happy with my 5.1

Update: Of all the versions on this disc, I like the Remastered Uncompressed Mix the most. Weird.
