That's funny because I never made the connection myself.

Initial news out of CES is gen 1 ATMOS avrs will NOT be firmware upgradeable to include DTS:X!!!
DTS:X requires a harware chip not included in all current ATMOS avrs.
Still waiting on official reports. This news coming from attendees at CES from show floor.

I was thinking that would be the case. They were already cramming a lot of processing for Atmos into their existing chips per the people at CEDIA when I was there in the fall.
Good thing that I am waiting. I would like to see Gen 2 DTS:X before I upgrade, but I am not sure that I want to wait that long.
Thanks for the update.

Waiting for the AVS report to drop. They were supposed to have an exclusive meeting with DTS yesterday.

Yeah, but with no official announcement until March 2015, they might not get much info.
I love how in the video the guy talks about speakers in the floor. Interesting idea.
I remember years ago seeing some goofy speaker placement diagram with a full sphere of sound, which put speakers around the walls, in the ceiling, and in the floor. I thought it was totally silly, but with Atmos and Auro you have, technically, more than half of that sphere.

Like a hamster ball with orbiting speakers! The DTS:X thread has devolved into the usual hyper speculation and nattering back and forth. How atypical! Looks like the SC-85 ATMOS system I'm going to see tonight is already obsolete sitting on the store shelf.... Lol. Probably soon a steal of a deal for someone not wanting immersive but needing to upgrade. Keep your eyes peeled. Chess, where you at? I hope the release of DTS:X is presented with little to no fanfare. I want it to be released as a product that is just as it should be. Something that works properly out of the gate with substantial content available in the short term. With DTS's existing tech and market share, I expect that will be the case.

I'd change my original post to a system with basic angles used from 2-7.1 systems, one above the other but with the top layer spun 180 degrees. Then add 4 overheads for additional ambiance.
14.1(4).4?

The top layer wouldn't match up to the bottom it would be split/offset between the speakers on the bottom layer.
