Does Pandora support surround sound (5.1 specifically)?

I want to set up a 5.1 surround sound in my room, and I was wondering if Pandora music even supported that, or will in the future. If it does, what reciever/amp should I get?

 

Thanks

Hi there, @AnalogCanavity.

You can find all supported devices for Pandora here.

Other options include using Bluetooth, Chromecast or Apple AirPlay to stream your tunes depending on your device.

Hi Alyssa,

I have the same question.  Unfortunately, your response did not answer the question.

Does Pandora stream any surround sound format?

 

Thanks

You have to be kidding me.  You did not answer the question again which I now assume is "no".

They cannot say yes or no, in part because your ability to implement is also limited by the device you are streaming Pandora from.

Nonsense.

The question is about 5.1 encoding.  It's not at all complicated.

They either DO embed 5.1 encoding data, or they do not.

Whether or not the system that is being used can process that encoding is an entirely secondary question (but, should also not be complicated).  There is an encoding standard.  It isn't brand-specific.

Now, I believe the original post by Alyssa attempted to provide some information in regard to the second half of the question 'what amp or receiver should I buy?' that might include an embedded Pandora client, but that still failed to address the encoding question.
