No.

Acquisition, whether on-set or in post-production, is already an established technology and will remain the same.

Post-production already works well, and won't change. Digital cinema may have up to 12 channels, but any channels above eight will be for descriptive listening, etc., not improved audio.

Delivery to the theater will remain the same - they already have up to eight full-range channels to play, and how this gets to their amplifiers is really irrelevant. Same with home theater - the speakers, amps, etc. won't change, and for the forseeable future the player will spit out six audio channels derived from whatever disc or file is being played.

Remember, Sound Follows Picture .
