Menus and options are not always intuitive! Apple, and other companies too, or getting really bad at not explaining what menu options actually do. Take the ATV 4K video formatting settings. Talk about a lot of confusion! You basically have to experiment and test out the various options to see how each works with itself and in conjunction with other options.
Like I suspected then, a lot of the negative reviews stating that SA was ruining some songs that are not recorded in it, those reviewers must either be ignorant of the settings and how to set it up, or they just hear what they expected to hear, or they might even have found a few glitches in the system.
I think, from what I understand about SA, which is limited of course, that a lot depends on the talent of the sound engineers when they mix a song into the SA format. And of course the talent of the musicians has to be considered. The SA format is much more complex than stereo. Some will be good at creating content with it, others will not.
