We understand the world of stereo: the audio signal consists of two channels, and then differences in level between one signal appearing in both channels create the impression of the sound appearing from somewhere between the two speakers. Those levels can be changed and adapted, and a sonic object can be made to appear in any place along the line, or indeed move around it.
Dolby Atmos takes this further. The concept is simple enough: instead of having just two speakers as in a stereo setup, or five speakers and a sub as in a 5.1 surround sound system, Dolby Atmos allows you to play back over whatever system you do have, and will decode the same signal differently, but with compatibility, which means that you can play a full-range Dolby Atmos mix both over a theatre setup or simply by using those two speakers in a home stereo formulation.
But read along yourself.

Putting your head directly into the cone of a Victrola is how spatial audio was invented.

Sorry to say the Victrola was never a brand invented. Might have been in one of yor prenatal dreams maybe.
I CAN tell that the sound from a HMV in its day was outstanding and the speed was growing
Many thanks for your input

Just wanted to post that it's now possible to rip the Atmos mixes for 1, Abbey Road, Let It Be, Sgt. Pepper, The Rooftop Concert, and SFF/PL from Tidal. Two formats are available there: one that's got a 5.1 E-AC3 base, and a second with a Stereo Dolby AC-4 base. It seems that AC-4 playback is impossible at the moment, however.

That's good to know, but members please remember not to post the files here or any software for ripping the atmos streams. I'm sure a bit of googling will turn up the answers.

all atmos mixes are available (somewhere) in mpeg-4 format and are easy to convert in flac.
