just like all DSP, more process = more distortion. If the original track had spatial in mind, and the artists put thought into it and that's what they want then

just like all DSP, more process = more distortion. If the original track had spatial in mind, and the artists put thought into it and that's what they want then fine. If we're just reprocessing mono/stereo content into spatial using god knows what settings then that's uh not cool. It's the same with Dolby Vision, if the creator took the effort then great. If not, then might as well let algorithm takeover from TV's chipset and render every scene with most detail preserved or highest dynamic range achieved. Technically impressive, artistically bankrupt.
