If you want to leave a link to find you – it's up to you. I think what you do is very valid; my personal view is that I would let a few of the older quad releases creep into the wild a little so that people may understand your commitment more.

Subject: Re: [SurroundSound] Quadraphonic software decoders
OK, have a few minutes before i continue the day job (converting quad material)..
I wonder how a bit, shell I say, "conservative" peace of music would sound using this processing - maybe DSOTM, Steely Dan, Sanatana, Mike Oldfield perhaps - something that was previously decoded too, so we can compare it with previous transfer ?
I have planned a demonstration disc set showing the the decoded versions of tracks from many albums, and the first will be SQ. It will also contain the same tracks so comparisons with other 'decoders' can be made. It has been on the back burner due to the work on the latest process's but i think i will start on it in the new year. I'll post here when it's done. (by the way, Steely Dan releases were in QS)
therefore 16 bit. I wonder how would that compare with vinyl transfer
It would be 'almost as good'. A good, untouched, digital copy is the best option when decoding phase matrix recording.
I am very interested to follow the events "early next year" - what is the best way/place to follow your future developments?
Hmmm... this is a little awkward. There are many who don't agree with the way i have been forced to go in relation to 'my work', plus i didn't come out to advertise 'my wares', so to speak so i'll leave that up to the moderator to decide whether this is the place to mention where i dwell.
My OP was about finding available SW decoder(s) - can you talk about them, or is that part of the upcoming events?
I've been working with Universal records on a project that has possibly been extended. I can't say anymore at the moment, it's all WIP. As to discussing the workings of the process's, i'm no longer inclined to release any information due attitudes from certain sectors who 'know better' but fail to prove it.
In the meantime, what are the best options for decoding CD-4 - today?
Well, surprisingly, at the heart of the JVC 4DD-5 (or one of it's clones) is a good demodulator. Out of the box it's ok, but it can be improved without to much work.
Hope that helps
