I know what you are talking about. I could be wrong but I feel it's a function of not quiet resolving dac/amp and susvara being essentially 2 open air diaphragms on both sides of your ears. You can try to wear the cans down and forward a bit but that's how they sound. Same things with all the HEK variants. Even though you may not get 6in in front of your head but a couple of inches should still be possible. I wish HFM would create angled driver placements.Yeah those recordings sound absolutely excellent, very nice and natural with tonnes of detail, texture and width and height. It's just that depthwise it never comes forward.
Well it's weird... I can hear the spatial cues telling me it sounds as if it's forward, it's just when I try to figure out how far forward it is, I realise that it's actually still back near my ears. If that makes any sense... with the ZMF Atrium, some things literally sound like they're coming from ~7cm in front of the line between my ears (with non-binarual, like Billie Eilish Happier Than Ever album for example.)
To be completely honest, the first track on my HE6se is like 6in out in front of me in some parts, especially when the rest of the orchestra joined in. Cadenza portion is like a couple of inches from me.
Play track one from this. Are you able to hear a few inches of soundstage in front of you?
