The quality criterion can be derived with respect to a resulting total bit rate of the parametric representation 112 or with respect to quality aspects, taking into account the perceptual quality of a reproduction of {HEAD ~ the multi channel signal} 106 based on {TAIL ~ the parametric representation} 112
