We don't know.because of immense midrange group delay?
What's stopping that philosophy from extending to amps?We don't know.

How do you know there isn't something that's inexplicable from measurements if you can't tell how a headphone sounds from measurements?Amps are already perfect.

what if headphone soundstage is just placebo? how can you blind test it?
so how are spatial qualities explained?
For IEMs, does this must mean frequency response is extremely close to the truth?Because of the driver ear distance, inner cup dimensions, and driver angle as well as the driver membrane shape.
Also frequency response between 1kHz and 5kHz may have something to do with it.
Not every one hears spatial qualities similarly. Ear shape (all pinnae are unique like fingerprints) and how the brain interprets the incoming signals also matters as well as recording techniques. For some spatializers work, for others head tracking or crossfeed.
Can you see it in FR or time domain measurements ? I don't believe you can because of the above. I certainly have not but my measurements are pinna-less and that does have something to do with this.
You know, I think that's the case. I get more perceived width from the speaker terminals, but there's also a smoothing effect.Speaker terminals have large noises. The noise although may not be apparently audible it's possibly over threshold and can color the sound.
@amirm am I missing something? why does it need more power in the bass when voltage is the same?
Bass is where we need power and here, we are above 720 ohm so you best have a headphone amplifier with very high output voltage.
What benefits would the power from a90 balanced bring over, say, a magni heresy when both have "distortion free power"?You may have missed that Amir did not say it needed more power. He stated the lack of subbass means it needs bass boost and given its high impedance it needs a high output voltage.

I hear a breathing type quality to the sound. Warbling breathing.It doesn't seem to be audible in "high fidelity recordings" either.
At 0:45 in this song I am hearing some warbling noise and can't tell if it's the music or my headphones. I can hear it on low volumes as well.
