ODAQ v1.5: Additional Data for Investigating the Impact of Stereo Processing

ODAQ v1.5 is an extension of ODAQ with additional audio samples and subjective test results for investigating the impact of stereo processing. These additional audio samples now include sources with different levels of stereo width (i.e., center, wide, hard-panned), and the content ranges from solo instruments to dialogue with background music and effects. Highlights Each of the 176 audio samples is rated by 16 expert listeners. 6 processing method classes (i.e., SHLR, SHMS, SHmix, QNLR, QNMS, QNmix) are included; each operating at 5 different quality levels, plus anchor conditions. The dataset is released with permissive licenses, please refer to _license_disclaimer.txt for full details.
