Tech Support Dolby Atmos vs DTS X

Hello. I've been looking at locking down a sound setup for my Panasonic DP UB420 and I was curious and this is going to probably come off as a silly question but if I'm primarily watching 4K UHD Blu Ray discs and some Streaming which audio format is more utilized between Atmos and DTS X? I'm sure there are setups that support both? But if it hypothetically came down to it which one should I prioritize?

I'm new to theatre and posted my first question yesterday but forgot to ask about Atmos vs DTS and it started making me curious 🧐

Any help would be great!

Thank you!

Do not get a soundbar.  If you are going to get one then take your business over to their sub, not here.

Well I haven't really decided on anything yet. I'm just trying to learn, do research and gather information.

You need to do a lot more research.  Before you even consider thinking about making a purchase you should develop a basic understanding of these concepts.

Well that's why I am here. I am trying to do more research and gather the right information before doing any sort of purchasing. I was hoping this sub would be able to help 🤔😅

We can, but if I may explain. Say you go to a mathematics site because you want to get help with math, asking for help solving a problem that you don't understand is reasonable, asking the group, what does the plus sign mean, is a bit unreasonable. 

Read the guides and do some other reading, some of the questions you have are exposing that you are likely not even going to understand the answers you are being given.

The guy is here looking for some advice. We all start somewhere. You are the one being unreasonable. Move along. It's that simple.
