Dolby Eliminates Key Feature for Enhancing Music

Dolby updated their upmixer when Atmos was released, replacing PLIIx Music and Cinema modes for what they called the Dolby Surround Upmixer (DSU). The DSU was suited for music and cinema and worked best for 2CH music when a feature called "Center spread" was enabled. Center spread allowed the listener to preserve stereo imaging from the front channels for 2CH sources. Without it being engaged, too much common sound from the FL/FR speakers is sent to the center channel making the end result too narrowly focused sounding and artificial.

Dolby has recently updated their licensing agreement to remove this feature from consumer audio products. We don't understand the reasoning behind this but we implore you to voice your concerns to Dolby and your favorite receiver manufacturer if you feel this to be an important feature for your music playback enjoyment.
