I don’t think it does convert. I think it just plays the 5.1 out of the 5.1.2 (for example). I only use 5.1 currently but I do find Atmos mixes sound better. Personally I find that the rear channels are used a lot more in Atmos mixes. However, I would also simply put this down to audio...

Nice!

It’s probably very rare these days to see a TV with just one HDMI socket. As this tends to be THE connection these days, TVs have multiple. If all of your devices have a standard sized HDMI cable (as opposed to the mini version) then it should as simple as connecting the Laptop to the TV and...

Same, but I do use the home cinema set up quite often for stereo.

How big is the space? I think you’d be surprised at the results you can achieve in a small space. My current living room set up would certainly be classed as a small space by many.

This is what matters. Not what is technically best. 😊 (Logically, it does not make sense to listen to the sound you do not prefer just because the DAC is 'technically' better).

I can only go off my own experiences but when someone says they want more detail etc I immediately go to Monitor Audio (which I use for that very reason). In my stereo set up I currently use Silver RX1 and in my surround set up I use speakers from the Radius range. If you are able too, perhaps...
