Soundstage is mostly related to volume, the louder the sound the bigger the soundstage. Some headphone amps have a sligth dynamic compression to the sound so it is easier to listen louder. Happens with tube amps a lot, or multibit dacs. Same for headphone, if you find a frequency response that...

Hi @Cuckoo Studio thanks for this very nice review! In your HD600 review you mentioned slightly soft transients for the HD600 and I wonder how you feel about the transient response of the NDH30 and the dt900 pro X compared to the HD600? The NHD30 and the dt900pro X seem to be some of the best...
