Unable to hear back of the head sound effects

@andy2 If you want you can try/buy my BAACh. It’s cool but I don’t use it. But yes it sure works. Got USB in yr. DAC? I’m in N Cal. 

I suggest trying a surround sound system.  Once you do you’ll love how immersive a good mix is.  My old man ears have never been happier.  2 channel is still great but Dark Side of the Moon in atmos is amazing.  

In 1978, I built the KEF R104 speakers. (MOODY BLUES) There was a track on "searching for the lost chord."It was titled "House of four doors." There was a break that sent the sound in the perfect circle of not just stereo, but a full circle in front of you. It amazed my mates no end. Now, It takes a circle from front to rear, like it is surrounding me. On H-phones, it does not work at all. It just goes back and fore.

Please try it, it will not take more than a few minutes.

All the best IAN.

CORRECTION, Just played it and

I drink too much, The track I was referring to was "Thinking is the best way to travel"

The phrase only lasts for 40 seconds.

I believe it has to do with loudspeaker setup, the room, and of course the recording. I can clearly hear percussion to the right rear in Euge Groove's song "Twelfth Night". Of course there are others but this song stands out for me.
