DTS/DD Core Audio Tracks?

[smol_birb]

Please pardon my ignorance if this question has been asked anywhere else.
But if I'm ripping MKV files for use in a system that has an Atmos-capable receiver, do I need to rip the Dolby Digital lossy core as well? Will the Atmos track still work if I exclude the lossy track?

In this case Dolby Digital is optional, you don't have to select it, if you need it then rip it. It doesn't affect the Atmos track.

Only just saw your reply now. Thanks for the assist.
