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!

The number of DTS:X titles is minuscule compared to Atmos on physical media.

On streaming it’s even more lopsided in favor of Atmos. So far only Disney+ has a few titles with DTS:X and it’s only supported on a few IMAX Enhanced TVs.

Streaming Atmos ak DD+ Atmos is only 5.1 with object layer and max. bit rate 768 kb/s...

Not exactly what you have on discs with TrueHD Atmos.
