slicker55 Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 . I have recently installed a new Pioneer 5.1.4 Dolby Atmos Home Theatre System. I am currently contemplating what to do with my old gear - Onkyo AV receiver, Kef satellite speakers and active subwoofer. I have been reading some old threads which have still left me wondering if multi-channel surround sound is fully implemented in DCS? Should I simply sell my old kit or would I be missing a trick? Does anyone know if it would be worth me hooking this up to my DCS rig?

Haven't had a chance to test with DCS, but it works in Elite Dangerous, so I'd like to think it has been coded for DCS, too. Z... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
