Abstract
Directional audio coding (DirAC) is a recently proposed method for spatial sound reproduction. So far it has been used only in loud-speaker reproduction, and a method for headphone reproduction is presented in this article. In principle, the method uses virtual loud-speakers simulated with head related transfer functions (HRTFs), and head tracking. The method was evaluated subjectively, and the results are presented. The results show that a plausible spatial impression can be reproduced using the binaural realization of DirAC.
