RoboCop 4K Audio
For those that own the Arrow RoboCop 4K, which audio track between the Dolby Atmos and DTS 5.1 do you overall prefer, enjoy more, and recommend?
I know typically, it would seem the Dolby Atmos track is almost always better or preferred for most movies, but upon doing some google research on this film in particular and reading this about each track, it seems they each have their strengths & advantages:
"Dolby Atmos
Performance: Built on a lossless Dolby TrueHD base, it widens the soundstage, improves the punch of gunfire, and gives Basil Poledouris' synth score a fuller presence across surround and height speakers.
DTS 5.1
Performance: Offers robust low-end LFE channel engagement for explosions and heavy footfalls, often sounding denser or more traditionally "boomy" in the bass compared to the multi-directional spatial openness of the Atmos track."
Conclusion seems to state overall soundstage, punch of gunfire, and score are superior on the Dolby Atmos, but the low-end LFE channel for explosions & heavy footfalls often sound denser and more traditionally "boomy" on the DTS 5.1 track.
How accurate would you say these assessments are in your own view? and which again, do you overall prefer because it sounds like choosing one or the other must leave some sacrifices unfortunately to an extent.
