Hello, did anyone do a comparison between HarpexB,  O3A Harpex Upsampler and SPARTA COMPASS to see which produce a better and more precise output? Or is it just a matter of personal taste and any engineer can choose preferred one? Personally I think upsampling is a great option, mainly for

Hi All , Thanks for all the help Archontis, Axel, Steve and David. This topic just got more exciting for me. Yes I am aware of Harpex, Blue ripple and Compass that's on the market, but I guess I need to study and be more aware of what I am reading for my secondary research. Many Thanks, Wilson

Hi David, These upmixing methods extract a lot of information from the FOA recording that is then re-used to essentially “synthesize" the HOA signals, with a spatial resolution that would not be possible with the FOA recordings. They are “active” in that sense, and signal-dependent, compared

Hi Wilson, First of all you have to understand the upmixing algorithms themselves before starting implementing them. Some methods that can do that are Directional Audio Coding (DirAC), which you can read all about in the “Parametric Time-frequency Domain Spatial Audio” book of last year, and
