I'm still using my late '15 5K running Mojave because of Aperture and other 32bit reasons. 
Years ago I thought 'fine, AS is out and a 5K replacement should be happening soon'.  

Still waiting... Although that new Mini M2 max might be my way forward if they keep dragging their feet on a 27".

For movies, and if you've managed to put together a decent home system, for TV, Atmos is pretty amazing.
For AR/VR it's pretty essential.
For listening to popular music in various ways, it will probably be as successful as "Quad" was in the '70's.

FWIW...I installed dozens of Atmos system at Dolby HQ.  They sound fantastic.
They are also installed in rooms there to varying degrees of acoustic engineering.
The price of the speaker systems ran from about $5,000 to over $100,000.  
A good Atmos system sounds great, but is not a simple matter.

While I'm here..
AAC+ encoding sounds fine for most material.  Lossless doesn't help 16/44.1 very much.
For a step up, 24 bit helps decent recordings. Going from 44.1KHz to 88.2 or 96KHz can improve recordings with lots of HF transients and wide dynamics.
Both of those things are incumbent on a very nice monitoring system, and good room acoustics.  Or a pricey set of cans.

BTW...You can successfully compress 24/88 files with ALAC, to keep the file size reasonable.

Not on Twitter.  Don't care about FIFA.

It's Friday, yea!

Send Brazil the same ones they send to Russia.... is potato.

Great!  With the room they saved, maybe they could put the headphone jack back...
