Hi All
I don't have an UHJ decoder hooked up at the moment, but by listening to
Flower of Life in stereo and looking at the goniometer I must say that this
recording is not UHJ encoded.
There is a lot of content with large phase differences. Those will decode
to the rear part of the soundfield with a UHJ decoder. To my taste, the
phase
difference is at places almost unpleasant with stereo playback. The phase
difference may feel less painful as UHJ decoded.
However, during the length of the piece I don't see any content that
would have
gone through an UHJ encoder in the soundfield front sector.
The tones that start at 5'21" have been panned hard left in stereo. There is
a slight phase difference between the L and R components, which would not
happen in UHJ encoding, the phase difference would be 0 degrees at both
- 45 and +45 directions (or NW and NE, if you like).
The tone that starts at 10'41" is possibly the "best" center front
panned sound.
If it were UHJ encoded, there would be a 33 degrees phase difference between
the channels for it. Now there isn't, the phase difference is much less than
that.
In overall, the goniometer display doesn't look at all like that in an UHJ
encoded music. I've looked a lot at those.
