listening to fm radio is like putting a vinyl record on and hearing the noise from that. although since like 2010 people just cut to commercial or read a news story they found on facebook instead of doing any hosting of the show

Trick question, even if you were dumb enough to listen to FLACs now you're in VLC and now they are at 400% volume distortion distortion because open sores cant do anything right

I have a friend with an atmos 7.1.4 setup in his studio op and he still mixes on two gigantic monitors mostly because he understands his target audience is not going to have that kind of hardware.

that said it is pretty cool that you can use the haas effect to make sound appear as if it is emanating from any point in 3D space around you.

object based audio is the end game because it mixes down properly to whatever speaker configuration you have

you dont even need to place the speakers in any specific spot at all, just throw them out there like you care about your interior decoration
