Been wondering if there’s a place I can listen to Spatial Audio versions of music. Does anyone know any places that support spatial audio playback?
What is spatial audio? U mean surround sound with a multi speaker setup? Or just properly utilized stereo audio?
Spatial Audio is one of the terms used for anything with height information: Binaural and Ambisonics (although these two don’t always feature height), Dolby Atmos, Auro3D, MPEG-H or some experimental other formats.
Other terms that mean the same thing: 3D Audio, Immersive Audio, Surround+Height
So your question is about a physical location that has the tech to play any of these the way they were intended to?
I’m not OP, just an expert on Spatial Audio.
Headphones are able to reproduce Spatial Audio mixes, if they’ve been binauralized, so the place and the system aren’t too relevant (if OP already set up their playback system).
So what is their question then? Did they mean “places” as in websites?
Considering the forum, I’d say so.
Not sure is helpful, but albums made with Q-sound gives excellent (engineered) soundstage width. Try Roger Waters album Amused to Death, or other albums made with Q-sound.
Check out https://audiospace.soundingfuture.com/ It’s a new and experimental platform, but you’ll get a taste of Spatial Audio.
