The one-off, not peer reviewed studies of Cheevers,et al., do not provide sufficient, scientifically reliable proof that the very low total harmonic distortion that includes some high-order components, is less accurate or even less disagreeable per blind testing than higher levels of 2nd and/or 3rd order HD.
OTOH it's has been known since Pythagoras that 2nd order both is not obvious and agreeable to the ear, (euphonic). However even Pythagoras won't have asserted that adding it makes the fundamental more accurate than it is by itself alone.
In my personal experience most of various "analytic" amps I've tried sound just fine playing good recording. I'm not prepared to buy an amp whose strength is make bad recordings sound better while compromising good recordings
