Tidal ~ Dolby Atmos

Question

Hello! I just started doing research on a new streaming platform from Spotify since I want to listen to music to its fullest extent. I also have “hifi” headphones and want to use them to their highest ability.

I was deciding between Tidal or Qobuz, which I’m sure is often debated. One question I had about Tidal is: if there’s an album that has been Dolby Atmos mixed but I don’t have a Dolby Atmos setup, when I turn off Dolby Atmos, will it play Max audio or High audio or a non-lossless file?

If you have any more insight on why I should choose Tidal, or shouldn’t, please let me know. Another factor that’s making me lean towards Tidal is that they have a wider song collection than Qobuz. But, I do want the best quality and based off what I’ve read and seen people seem to recommend Qobuz more. Thank you!
