Yes we are and main issues:
1. There is no IF, it's pretty much a required "circuitry" to support Atmos/DTS:X!
2. There is no "bypass", it's the "circuitry" that determines if Atmos/DTS:X is...

We’re clearly talking in circles or different languages. The original question was whether AQ would be affected depending on player. My answer remains the same: if using bitstream, no because you...

You're beating a dead horse!
"If it supports Atmos/DTS:X, you're good" and "does not support Atmos decoding" are not the same....Full stop!

The UB9000 does not support Atmos decoding. Full stop.
In order to hear Atmos or DTS:X, you MUST use bitstream connected to a decoder that does support it:
The settings to change this vary on...

I believe you misunderstand.
"If it supports Atmos/DTS:X, you’re good", how does a 4k player like the UB9000 & PS5 console not fall under this?
If you have to "bitstream" to get "3D...

The alternative to bitstream is PCM, where you rely on the player to decode. If it supports Atmos/DTS:X, you’re good. However a LOT do not have those codecs (again, the UB9000 does not) and thus you...

It’s a shame that nice players like the panny don’t offer manuals to show you how to change PQ and AQ settings.

Ok….. yes correct 🤔
I’m not sure what that has to do with Atmos/DTS:X content.
Keep in mind HDMI transfers bitstream, even better than optical.
How would “select bitstream” on your 4k...

Still not following.
Like the video processing the player/console have to be able to “process” the Atmos data onto the receiver/soundbar which then “decodes” it for use.

as that listing shows it’s usually $500 but when on sale is $399.
That isn’t to far off that sale price.
