How are you getting your surround sound?


I haven't paid attention to home theater in a long time so forgive me if this is a silly question. Is everyone still popping in a Blu-Ray disc to watch a movie if you're wanting to experience the latest in surround sound like Dolby Atmos, DTS, etc.? What are the ways you can get movies now with full audio formats encoded?

I have a older high end surround processor, with excellent speakers and amp. We stream through Apple most of the time, also Amazon, and Comcast. For the last few years streaming has been sonically equivalent to blu-Rays. We bought a few 4K disks and stopped. We are now getting rid of our thousand + disks. Take up too much space, and provide no added value.

Movies that are available in 4K are streamed in 4K on Apple and Amazon. We watch 3 movies a week and virtually all are 4K. Both Apple and Amazon stream movies in ATMOS. Our older processor does not support ATMOS. It does support TrueHD and DTS… etc. and are indistinguishable from those played on our 4K OPPO.
Via Apple TV device. Although when traveling I may use my iPad or MacBook connecting directly to HDMI Tv input. 
Is that your question?
