Hm. Interesting.

Many recordings that are known to be UHJ encoded, son't have any printed
indication or an Ambisonic logo at all.

Then again, it has been a common practise that the same release of some
recording has had a different cover print in different countries.

Maybe the Enya really would need some further investigation.

To get back to the Enya question, i remember this too. In fact it was that
disc that got me interested in Ambisonics in the first place.

In around 2000, i traveled to washington from montana to listen to a pair
of Meridian DSP6000s.  I'd wanted to hear some for years (knowing i
couldn't afford them).

After listening to my music for a while, the sales person put an Enya disc
on. It was either Enya (The Celts) or Watermark i wish i remembered which.
I noticed that a symbol on the cd was the same as a symbol on the meridian
preamp we were listening to. I asked about it and he turned on the
ambisonics processing in the pre-amp. I was blown away. The surround was so
gentle and the antithesis of what had turned me off from surround sound
before, even though he only had a 5.1 set up.

So, it's out there, i just don't know which one it is.

When it comes to Ambisonics, might some editions of the disc (original,
remastered etc) have it and some not? Put another way could the Ambisonics
be mixed or mastered out of a particular edition?

Also, could an indicator be added to Fons processor to indicate whether a
stream had UHJ in it or not?
