Hi all,
Forgive me if this subject has been covered recently, but without a search option directly in the WHF forum I couldn't see one a good few pages in, so here goes..
House move forces a downsize of 'stuff' that I've amassed over the years, and one of the casualities are the Blu-rays. I don't watch films as much as I used to, and I'm happy to use one or a combination of streaming and/or download services to get my media. One sticking point however is the quality of the audio provided with the image. A lot of marketing is made about the great quality picture (4K, Dolby Vision, HDR etc) - none of which my current TV supports, mind - but the audio tracks are DD 5.1 at best from what I can tell (I see a few Netflix Originals have Dolby Atmos).
I've got a lovely 5.1 system I'd like to keep using (that is one thing that does fit in the new place!) and I know the difference between DD 5.1 and DTS HD and really don't want to go backwards. Am I missing something and some of these streaming services offer better audio tracks, or is this something I just have to live with and buy the Blu-ray when I really want to enjoy a certain film? It amazes me in 2018 this is the situation.
Thanks in advance,
