Have you turned off any sound mixing on the device?
It needs to send out an unmodified bitstream. Letting it mix in any system sounds or auxiliary soundtracks from bluray will ruin it.

I know the difference (for me), but how am I supposed to describe it in words, so that you can hear it??
PS I also tried in pictures here: BOOM: Dolby Atmos Streaming vs Physical Disk
What I, and I think others were looking for was something like: "I watched both the iTunes and 4K blu-ray version of Dead Pool 2 and I couldn't tell the difference in the audio." Or, "The difference was night and day between iTunes and the 4K blu-ray, you absolutely need to watch the physical disc."
That simple. If some folks go through the trouble of doing to the two blind that would be really cool too. I think a thread that has a whole bunch of comparisons could be helpful; sometimes you can save a decent amount of money buying on iTunes, and if the audio quality is close it might be a good idea to grab that version.
disc will always be better
how would you like me to prove it ? I have itunes atmos movies as well as 4k blu rays and the blurays have much better soundHey Lax, i've just been reading AVS and one guy reckons that the iTunes Atmos audio is 80-90% there compared to the 4K BluRay and another reckons that he cannot tells the difference if blindfolded! Remember a lot of the guys on forums like that are perfectionists who probably have movie watching as their main hobby. They probably are the type who go looking for a speck of dust on a new car in a car showroom, so if they are happy, well...

Prove it!
Though “much” is very subjective and unmeasurable, I’m definitely with you!how would you like me to prove it ? I have itunes atmos movies as well as 4k blu rays and the blurays have much better sound

Could you give me the link to that AVS thread, I’d love to read some impressions from over there.
That’s awesome. That’s kind of what I was hoping for. Although I think there’s a market for individual movie comparisons here. At least until we start seeing the same thing over and over again, like “the iTunes version was good but the disc was slightly better.” If we get that for every movie for a little while I think we would be safe to assume that will be the case.
Proving one over the other is tricky, it really would come down to the person. Although, someone earlier here linked to some photos that may “prove” the disc is better.
But guys in the absolute real world, there's no way that a viewer of a film would do a side by side comparison. This evening, we've had our weekly film night. We saw 'Joyride' HD from iTunes and OMG, the picture was incredible and the sound was truly alive - crisp, full, consistent level, bright - just superb. This was a 1080p HD film upscaled by the ATV 4K and my gosh, the yellow orange Mini Cooper S in the film absolutely sparkled on our LG OLED B7 along with the amazing countryside of New Zealand. Apple should use this film as a demo for what HD can look like from an iTunes film because, we were all left stunned with the quality from this film rental.Though “much” is very subjective and unmeasurable, I’m definitely with you!
I hear a clear difference. But you will need to do side-by-side comparison.
Humans are not good at sensing absolute values but can easily tell minute differences.
This is how I do it: i play both sources (aTV and bluray), then switch my AVR between these 2 inputs. So I have almost instant switchover.But guys in the absolute real world, there's no way that a viewer of a film would do a side by side comparison.

On the audio front, discs use lossless compression for quite some time already.Discs are compressed though as well. possibly just better audio *because* its physical vs iTunes (which Apple would have to cater for bandwidth even on acceptable bandwith quality)
