I have been looking for a new receiver, but the specifications usually 
only mention "Atmos". If you read here:

https://developerkb.dolby.com/support/solutions/articles/16000067755-is-dolby-ac-4-the-same-as-dolby-atmos-

This seems to agree with Gary's thoughts that "Atmos" is not necessarily 
AC-4 and could be Dolby Digital Plus.

This makes finding a new receiver difficult.
