[Electronics-Talk] Fire stick and Apple TV

[Peter]

Hello Raymond and everyone,

	The latest version of the Fire TV Cube has Dolby Atmos. This coupled with a 6.1 surround sound home theatre system makes for great sound.

Well, I may not be Dennis, but, I can tell you why I prefer the Apple TV box. With the Apple TV box, you get Dolby Atmos sound through all your streaming services like HBO Max, Netflix, Disney plus, Amazon prime ECT.  Not even the Fire TV cube offers you that much Dolby Atmos sound.  That’s important if you have a sound bar or receiver set up which can take advantage of it.
