And some people like to have their movies upmixed from 5.1 to 9.1.6 or whatever. Maybe you don't. Whatever.
I really, really don't get the argument regarding the delay of the release of the current Dolby surround upmixer and movies - there's just no logical correlation at all. But you may have noticed that there's more than movies available in immersive formats, e.g.
music. Even good stuff with sample rates of 192kHz, and the guys at
2l make disks where the only Auro 3D mix is 192kHz and cannot be played back on an Altitude 16 at all. That is the sort of limitation that I did not expect from a $17k processor, much less the $40k 48 channel version.
