Netflix rolls out high-quality audio support for 5.1 surround sound and Dolby Atmos TechSpot

Based on internal listening tests, scientific studies and listening results from Dolby, Netflix determined that anything above 640 kbps for 5.1 – a 10:1 compression ratio compared to a 24-bit 5.1 channel studio master – wouldn’t deliver any additional value to the listening experience. For Dolby Atmos, the ceiling has been pushed to 768 kbps.
