Has anyone tried this? http://www.dgsonicfocus.com/
It sort of worked for me on the AKG K371. With any headphone or IEM I have a persistent sense of elevation (vertical soundstage) as the frequency goes up. The best I could get with the DG method was a narrower range of elevation. That said, listening became fatiguing and the overall tone was ruined.
It's possible of course that I'm doing something wrong. I used a KH80 a mono speaker reference and listened from about a 40cm away. I didn't try loudness equalization below 500Hz to avoid room effects.
When I was doing it I thought the third octave bands were too wide (DG uses a Q of 5). I would set gains different depending if I was going in ascending or descending order (I'm pretty sure I'm locking onto different partials intraband). Instead of just using the 500Hz reference band to match, I also quickly flipped between adjacent bands until they were equal. Perhaps this was an error.
I also didn't try any binaural music (I have some on a hard drive somewhere) beyond what Griesinger embedded into a related presentation. From his papers and talks it doesn't seem like this method is exclusive to binaural recordings alone, and should work for stereo.
