EAQUAL stands for Evaluation Of Audio Quality. It's an objective measurement technique used to measure the quality of encoded/decoded audio files (very similiar to PEAQ). It acts in contrast to more the common place subjective testing methodology deployed using ABX and ABC/HR reference testing (frequently preferred by hydrogenaudio). It's part of the ITU-R recommendation BS.1387. Several tests have been performed using EAQUAL most notably using numerous AAC encoders to determine via a Pearson Correlation the linear relationship between human ratings and EAQUAL ratings on a given set of test samples. The results however using objective testing methodologies are still inconclusive.
