I’m considering buying a pair of AirPods Max, mainly for Dolby Atmos content on my MacBook, so before I do that, I want to be sure that Infuse supports it.
I’ve been using Infuse on my macOS for a while now, and I’m curious if Infuse can playback Dolby Atmos in EAC3-JOC (or hopefully TrueHD Atmos), mainly object-based audio, not just outputting it as a multi-channel audio stream.
I’ve seen some posts here about the support for tvOS and not macOS, does anyone know if it supports this feature? I want to be sure before placing my order.
Thank you for responding, I have the 2021 MacBook Pro, no AppleTV.
I agree that I could order it and try it out but personally I do not have the time due to my classes and other stuff, etc.
If someone has the Airpods Max with a Mac device, I would appreciate your feedback
I’ve never tried your scenario but one thing I can confirm is MacOS does not do bitstream. It also won’t do TrueHD w/atmos. Best you can get is lossy atmos.
Noted. I just want to know if it’s possible for Infuse (or any other app, but mainly Inufse since it’s by far the best compared to other apps) can output Atmos, in this case, Lossy Atmos (EAC3-JOC), I know that it’s possible for music services like Apple Music, but I don’t know about content like movies and shows, that’s why I asked.
I use Apple TV with AirPods Max and whenever I watch a movie, I always use Infuse’s Volume Boost, because I don’t like low volume. I like to have a cinematic experience. At the moment it is not possible to boost Atmos tracks.
I’ve sometimes seen the Spatial Audio tag in MacOS when playing DA content in Infuse. I use my AirPods Max with my Mac and I think they would only support spatial audio wirelessly.
Otherwise most of the time with 5.1 or 7.1 tracks, the system just says ‘Multichannel’ stream so there I don’t know if the AirPod Max can truly support it.
