This is not correct. Soundstage depth is inherent to the recording. But in the case of flat "pan-pot stereo" recordings, it is possible top create the illusion of "more space" using low level reverb.

Good recordings contain good spatial rendering in themselves.

So called "Digital glare" has many reasons, though most are actually analogue.

As for that turntable, it shall remain nameless, however the design resulted in minute speed variations with varying needle-drag from varying levels cut in the LP, so very high levels would slow it down a tiny amount compared to quiet passages.

Equally, running a tape or LP slightly fast (meaning the pitch is slightly sharp) seems to give greater energy and excitement, in the old Days many DJ's used this by always playing music pitched slightly sharp. I certainly did.

At 20 bits, you are on the verge of dynamic range covering fly-farts-at-20-feet to intolerable pain. Really, what more could we need?
