I am testing out Dolby Atmos and DTS Headphones X with my Bose QC II.
Everything seems to work well with Kodi but I am unsure if I should set the audio output settings to 7:1 or leave it as it is for my speaker setup with subwoofer (2:1)
As far I understand it, both Atmos and DTS should be able to take the mutlichannel audio and position the sounds in the headphone instead of just do a stereo upmix.
My audio settings for Kodi when using the headphones are to set the output to Direct X Bose headphones and set the channels to 7:1. I have leaving it at 2:1 and can't really discen any difference in spatial decoding but I haven't tested with different movie sources in Kodi so unsure what is the best setting.
Also, what is the best codec to buy? Atmos sounds really good but seems to boost the volume a lot so it's hard to do a fair comparison with DTS. I do seem to prefer the dialogue in Atmos compared to DTS. DTS seems to place the dialogue in a more "far away" position.
