No, EARS is not specifically for decoding SQ or QS. It is a very
subtle process of taking some of the ambient information out of the
stereo signal and sending it to the surrounds. It may give some
surround effect from quad as well as Dolby Surround, Circle Surround,
and other two-channel processes. The Cantares decoder did a great job
on quad, but I sold mine some time ago and they are no longer made.
Dolby ProLogic I or II does similar things, but with more gusto. I use
ProLogic for all my Ambisonic UHJ discs in lieu of the Cantares, which
was designed especially for Ambisonic. All of these are superior to
the fake "hall" effects that many AV receivers and preamps come with.
