I had hoped that with DTS: NeoX, we could see some of the SDDS 8 channels soundtracks on Blu-ray. But that was wishful thinking.

I need some honest opinions any of you guys that personally experienced SDDS-8C in cinemas. Was that 7.1 a significant different experience compared to regular 5.1?

Yes, Chicago is the one directed by Rob Marshall.

The best use of SDDS 8 channel (five up front with dual surrounds and LFE) was the remix of Das Boot: Director's Cut. Many others were really too subtle for you to notice.

In Star Trek: Edge of Darkness the sound engineers placed the dialog stems into objects and positioned them in all five screen speakers corresponding to where the characters were in the scene. In Gravity any off-screen dialog was pushed into various surround quadrants.

Sounded better than anything SDDS ever offered.

Now, they could take those 8 channel SDDS mixes and re-purpose them for Atmos with additional height and surround tweaking. Das Boot would be phenomenal in Atmos.
