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