Dolby Atmos now available on Netflix
Netflix now features Dolby Atmos support, with Bong Joon Ho's Okja the first compatible title.
Four other Atmos films are coming to Netflix this year, including BLAME!, Death Note, Bright and Wheelman.
However, the only devices that currently support Netflix's Dolby Atmos integration are the Xbox One and Xbox One S, and you will need a surround-sound system that's compatible with Atmos too.

Reviews
We've enjoyed Chord's Hugo, but now the Hugo 2 has arrived on the scene, it's time to move on.
At £1800, it's considerably more expensive than the original, but you'd be hard-pressed to find anything as good at this price. The sound is superbly detailed and dynamic, offering an open and coherent performance.
It's hard to find any meaningful fault with the way the Hugo 2 delivers your digital audio files. It is simply fantastic.

It's been two years since we last reviewed a home cinema amp from Sony. It's returned with a belter in the STR-DN1080.
Right off the bat it sounds fantastic. Packing in insight and authority, it produces an enjoyably dynamic performance. Feature-wise it's caught up to its rivals, incorporating both Atmos and DTS:X.
The STR-DN1080 is filled to the brim with the latest technology, and puts in a cracking performance too.

Audio Pro's latest wireless speaker looks identical to the most recent T5, but there's one big difference – it's now capable of multi-room.
It's a decent attempt too, with a detailed and expressive sound that's an excellent performer across a range of sources.
Audio Pro has taken a while to wake up to multi-room, but it has been well worth the wait.
