Such a decoder needs listening to, which means that you have to able to generate something to listen to to assess how well the encode/decode works, something I haven't had time to do above 2nd order. If only there was more time, things got done quicker, or someone was paying for

Hi, As you must have realised, Ambisonics does not intrinsically model distance, and is based on a central listening position. In many ambisonic applications you can only pan a sound source around at the same distance. The loudspeakers are ideally all at the same distance from a central listeni
