Well, of course Apple TV stuff has it. And I believe I saw where Hulu has it. I should go double check, because I know there’s at least one other service that has it. I heard it the little sample when you go in for the AirPods Pro, you can just hear a little sample of what it sounds like. And it’s very impressive. So I’m thinking that if it gets adopted on a wider scale, it could be quite awesome. Of course maybe competing services won’t go for it, but why not?
