What do you guys think?
Will we ever see Dolby true atmos on apple tv?

I havent given apple up on this yet.

Doubtful, no real reason for them to do it

TrueHD is converted to multichannel PCM with Infuse. Upon conversion, Atmos metadata is removed and can't be added back.

Don't think any streaming service will offer TrueHD or DTS-HD MA.

Ah ok thank you

Dolby's own focus is on streaming services and music, both of which use DD+ w/Atmos, not TrueHD. As such, I can't believe Apple will be pursuing TrueHD passthrough in the near future.

Am I missing something, but isn't the upcoming spacial audio in Apple Music going to be Atmos? I'm hoping this means I'll be able to send spacial audio to my Sonos Arc over HDMI 2.1's eARC (current ATV4k supports HDMI 2.0 ARC connections).

Their spatial audio ought to use HRTF brain-delusion. So it only needs 2-channel transmission.
I am not sure, if using speakers instead of headphones will weaken the illusion or not.
PS Still no reason to hope their Atmos music will use lossless TrueHD instead of lossy DD+.
