atmos can be fake indeed.
Have you tested the
same sound track with a 5.1/7.1 file and then an atmos format ?
I dont have a complete atmos setup. its 7.1 on normal, or 5.1.2 on atmos, but ultimately both files were very similar at my ears
Here the test files :

Like I said , its subjective, you can always bypass atmos if you want in the amp options.
