On current headphones, neither stereo nor 5.1 sound really convincing.
Therefore, the headphone companies and - some day - maybe even Apple
etc. should look for ways to defeat the in-head and listening-fatigue
effects on current devices. It is actually stunning that so few
companies have tried to improve the listening experience on
headphones. (Smyth Research, Beyer, some VR equipment, and who else?)
Stereo works just fine for me via my dummy head and £30 hd219 phones.
Better than listening direct with my own ears (reduced crosstalk).
Ambisoncs looks very promising too, although the setup is very critical.
There is limited source material, and none that I have found without
'precious' copyright restrictions, so it cannot be demonstrated.. A
Raspberry Pi does (stereo) 2X2 convolution from file to soundcard in
realtime.
