Presentation
This is the Tidal Dolby Atmos presented in Dolby Digital Plus or AC-4 (link).
The dynamic range of the Dolby Atmos version is clearly superior to that of the stereo version, which sits at DR3. While it doesn t reach maximum dynamic range, this remains consistent with Muse s musical style
Not only does the Dolby Atmos version provide a more dynamic presentation, allowing for greater detail and a more energetic sound, but the Atmos mix also delivers energy across all channels. The use of the wide channels is particularly effective, creating a powerful rendering and a spatial distribution of the music that fully immerses the listener in Muse s sound.

The spectrogram of the Tidal Dolby Atmos track in 7.1.4 is limited to 20kHz (yellow arrow) with no signal above (white arrow). This limitation is due to Dolby Digital Plus encoding, which is a lossy encoder that limits bandwidth to optimize data size for a bit rate of 768 kbits/s. The green arrow shows the 120Hz filtering of the bass channel (LFE).
