True, but the problem with this is that it requires quite high order at HF (which is where all the binaural magic happens). But then you could say that any small set of virtual speakers would be inaccurate as well as it can't capture the high order dependency of the HRIR. This is true of course. The only reason why it works is that it relies on amplitude or ambisonic panning between the virtual speakers, just as reproduction via real speakers does. Ciao, -- FA A world of exhaustive, reliable metadata would be an utopia. It's also a pipe-dream, founded on self-delusion, nerd hubris and hysterically inflated market opportunities.
