Very fine spatialization, immersing us totally in the concert, with spatialization effects on the music, as on the Tipping Point. The new tracks make greater use of spatialization, as on “The Girl That I Call Home”, which begins by moving us around in space before filling the entire sound space. Lateral backing vocals are also featured.
Dolby Atmos in TrueHD is much more precise in terms of sonic finesse and spatialization than the Tidal Dolby Atmos version (or other Amazon and Apple streaming versions). Full review...
