I'm thinking of getting a head mounted display specifically for watching 3D films, and some 2D stuff on occasion. Note it would be for occasional viewing, not playing games or extra long viewing periods. I just want to watch some 3D Blu Ray's or Laserdiscs and that's pretty much it. Does anyone know if the current crop of headsets e.g. Facebook Quest 2 etc can handle DTS audio and all the rest of the fun stuff? If I went with a Zuckerberg Facequest 2 retina data slurper, I know it won't play discs from a player, but dumped 1:1 to my NAS it might over DLNA? Does Skybox VR or Bigscreen properly play back DTS etc?
I was thinking of going for a Sony HMZ but heard they are so fiddly to use and create huge dents in your skull due to weighing more than a bag of anvils. I think also it's only the last revision of the HMZ that can do all the fancy cinema and DTS-HD audio stuff properly?
A projector and all the rest of it isn't an option so this is probably the next best thing for a while for me. Any advice is much appreciated.

They had the following to say: if I play back my film files in MKV format from my NAS, does Skybox and the Quest 2 play them back properlyYes we support 3D movie playback in MKV files. One of our key feature is to provide all format supports and smooth streaming from your local devices. can they handle DTS audio? DTS HD MA, Dolby 7.1 etc?Yes we support DTS, DTS HD MA and Dolby TrueHD 7.1. I guess then if I got a Faceache PII Slurper 2 then I could dump my 3D discs 1:1 and play back from the NAS. The only thing then is does Skybox VR and/or the Facebutt PII Slurpfiest 2 handle 24p video correctly? If not, then the big win there goes to Sony as it has a dedicated 24P mode.
