Well this thread turned out to be a dud.
I discovered multichannel music recently. My newest Roon endpoint had HDMI-OUT which I connected to my Rotel RSP1576 Surround PreAmp. Although I allways was a Stereo listener… some multichannel music really impresses me!
I hope multichannel music from Tidal will soon be available via Roon!

So far only discrete 12ch DXD Tuvayhun can satisfy my ears and brain.
One more attempt to revive this thread.

Very cool! Do you listen to the downmixed Atmos 7.1 track?
Another current release which I really like:

There are lots of astonishing mixes out there on BD, DVD-A or SACD and some even on streaming services. Even a lot for stereo-lovers as they utilize rear channels mainly for ambience and reverb. Especially lots of classical and jazz stuff on SACD follow a more traditional take on multichannel.

I just have a 5.1 system. Still, it sounded great to me. 
Reviving this old thread…again 
Today I came across this website that has a great list (and user reviews) of multichannel music recordings. There’s a lot of good stuff in there. 
I’m looking forward to hearing a few titles I was able to find/order today.

Ripping and setting these up for Roon is a challenge. DARE has 65 track options and Age of Consent has 177! Simply ripping them each as its own album would make them quite unwieldly to navigate in Roon.
I managed to wrangle DARE over the past couple nights (lots of manually entering metadata!), essentially creating 2 albums, one multichannel and one 2 channel, with each album containing 2 “discs”.
I need to decide if I want to do the same with Age of Consent as it will be a much bigger project. If I include all track options (ie all mixes for each track), I’ll end up with two albums: album 1 containing 104 tracks over 4 “discs” and album 2 containing 73 tracks over 3 “discs”.
I could reduce the work needed for Age of Consent by not including all the available mixes (Atmos, DTS, 2024 2 channel, Original 1984 2 channel). Perhaps I’ll listen to the disc first (via my BD player) to see if I really want all mixes available in Roon.
Sorry for the sidetrack (had to get that out, lol). Back to our regularly scheduled program.

I have about 110 5.1 titles that I play from my Nucleus One via HDMI to Denon x2800 AVR out to my Klipsch towers with matching center, L/R Klipsch surrounds and a big 'ole SVS sub.
Favorite? Maybe Sympathy For The Devil by the Stones. Or Abbey Road. Or A Black and White Night by Roy Orbison. Or Workingman’s Dead. Or The Last Waltz by The Band. Or …?

Lol, I have lots of favorites as well! It’s impossible to pick just one.
BTW, I finally got a chance to listen to my recent acquisitions I posted earlier (Howard Jones, The Human League, Bronski Beat).
IMHO, the Howard Jones BDs are better mixed/mastered than the Human League and Bronski Beat titles from SDE (which aren’t bad, just not as good).
