Sorry, no; your iPad Pro 10.5” does not support Spatial Audio,


Many older models of iPad do not have the necessary hardware to support Spatial Audio. 


Whilst the precise technical requirements for Spatial Audio support have not been published by Apple, contrary to popular belief, the issue is not entirely related to CPU - but is seemingly due to the inclusion of Apple’s proprietary “U1” (Ultra Wideband) chip in later models, this being needed to enable Spatial Audio features in supported devices.


Whether or not Spatial Audio has any real value is that of perception. Spatial Audio is a “computed” soundstage.
