Streaming Atmos on Netflix vs BluRay


This might be a total newbie question but I'm a 2 channel guy who's dabbling in Atmos.  I do have a 4.2.4 (no center) system and really enjoy what I hear on Netflix, Disney +, etc..  How much better would a 4k bluray be?

What am I missing by streaming Atmos and whatever other formats vs having an actual disc?

With my upgraded Oppo 205 the audio is way better from disc’s than streaming. Much fuller sounding, surround, Atmos, bass etc.
Actually, I am using a Apple 4K TV playing through my Oppo HDMI input. First off, I was unable to find much 7.1 or Atmos content on either Netflix or Prime. And, the few titles that are listed as Atmos didn’t sound like it.

dtximages,
Sound wise, definitely better with playing discs- 4K, Blue Ray.

I actually don’t believe that Netflix or Prime is actually passing Atmos and or 7.1. I think they once did but in the last year they have reduced their bandwidth in order to pass 4K.
