Actually it's a very good and very revealing test. Please don't be mislead into thinking that (what I call) the "dual-mono test" is ANY less revealing than stereo. What we hear is only an approximation (albeit a reasonably convincing one some of the time) of ambience, imaging etc anyway. Try it with a mono recording... As for depth and height - I think we've done those "concepts" to death! (I know you didn't mention them - but someone will) If you don't believe me, try it (if you have 2 dacs). At the very least you will find the results interesting - if not surprising.
