It also seems worthwhile to compare plugins for encoding to 3rd order ambisonics.
Currently, I am comparing the Zylia Ambisonics Plugin and the Sparta Array2SH Plugin for encoding to ambisonics. For this test, I listen to some recent recordings, encoded to 3rd order ambisonics (O3A SN3D) and then decoded to binaural using the IEM Binaural decoder.
My initial impression is that the Sparta plugin sounds more clean, spatially articulated and open. Have anyone else made similar comparisons? Thoughts?
