What would be the benefit of having REW play the files? Would it not be sufficient for REW to support creating (and taking measurements with) multi channel sweep files, or being able to just take sequential measurements from multiple sweep files played back to back?

If you added support for multi-channel offline sweeps, it would be easy to encode them for ATMOS.

As measured how and where? You may want to ask Dolby what they recommend for headphones. Otherwise, if you want to perfectly emulate a loudspeaker that has an in room response with the Dolby target curve at your listening position, my recommendation would still be a Smyth Realiser A16 - which...

Mixing metric and imperial in one graph? Anyway, I've asked about measurements of the power consumption of those active cables, and just minutes ago stumbled accross a thread over on AVSForum where someone has figured out a way. Interestingly, he has issues with HDFury devices, just like I...

You'd actually need a set of calibrated in-ear microphones to measure what's getting to your eardrums. The Smyth Realiser does everything you want in a box, but at a price, and it works really well (but mine got lost in the mail, so...) Since you apparently would consider generic correction...

They also play on some Blu Ray players, such as those made by Oppo, or basically anything that runs Kodi. @serko70's files playing back with a 9.1.6 layout (starting with the right wide, if I remember correctly): thotsong's AWS-encoded files, showing use of multiple speakers: I've also tried...

Good question. I've got no idea. It's actually HDMI 2.0 that seems to have introduced this, and here is a document for an Altera FPGA core that seems to support 32 channels, and one from Xilinx as well.

The objects are a feature, not an issue for regular playback. At least in theory, they allow the sound sources to be rendered as well as the speakers that are actually available allow (including deviation from the speakers' ideal positions). That one is on the manufacturer of your receiver...

There may be a perfect solution for Auro 3D with REW: contact Wilfried Van Baelen, and ask him if they would kindly encode a sweep for Auro 3D. He was interested when I inquired about encoding sweeps for the Smyth Realiser A16, but that lost momentum, and since my Realiser got lost, I'm not too...

I believe Dolby offers evaluation licenses, valid for 30 days or so if I'm not mistaken. I think not being / having an official company should not be a problem. I've created a Dolby account for that, but getting a demo license for a supported DAW was way more of a hassle than just using the AWS...

I'm pretty sure thotsong could do it, if someone sent him a few hundred bucks for a DAW and the encoder - and maybe a processor and a few extra speakers to actually test the result. I intended to contact the starter of the thread over at AVSforums where he published a few cool Atmos object...

Given the number of channels you're using, I'd suspect that you have a AVP that can route external signals to arbitrary channels. If that's not an option, you'll have to find someone with access to a proper Atmos encoder, a DAW and enough knowledge to use them properly. On top of that, encoding...

Of the 300mA circuit, yes. I suspect that inserting a multimeter into the power supply line of something like this power injector below might be the easiest way. Even more so if you have a USB power meter.

The mere existence of those HDMI <>USB power injector plugs should be reason enough to measure the actual power draw. On top of that, I have replaced an older fiber optic HDMI cable because it appeared to be incompatible with my new AVP, possibly due to its power draw, but I haven't measured that.
